Irina wants to build a fence around a rectangular vegetable garden so that it has a width of at least 10 feet. She can use a maximum of 150 feet of fencing. The system of inequalities that models the possible lengths, l, and widths, w, of her garden is shown. w ≥ 102l + 2w ≤ 150

Question illustration
A
l = 20 ft; w = 5 ft
B
l = 20 ft; w = 10 ft
C
l = 60 ft; w = 20 ft
D
l = 55 ft; w = 30 ft

A
l ≤ 122l + 2w < 30
B
l > 122l + 2w < 30
C
l ≤ 12 l + w < 30
D
l > 12 l + w < 30

A baker makes apple tarts and apple pies each day. Each tart, t, requires 1 apple, and each pie, p, requires 8 apples. The baker receives a shipment of 184 apples every day. If the baker makes no more than 40 tarts per day, which system of inequalities can be used to find the possible number of pies and tarts the baker can make?

A
t ≤ 40 p ≤ 184
B
t ≤ 40 8p ≤ 184
C
t ≤ 40p + 8t ≤ 184
D
t ≤ 408p + t ≤ 184

Kyle asks his friend Jane to guess his age and his grandmother’s age. Kyle says his grandmother is not more than 80 years old. He says his grandmother’s age is, at most, 3 years less than 3 times his own age.Jane writes this system of inequalities to represent k, Kyle’s age, and g, Kyle’s grandmother’s age.Inequality 1: g > 80 Inequality 2: g ≤ 3k – 3

A
Inequality 1 is incorrect; it should be g ≤ 80.
B
Inequality 1 is incorrect; it should be g ≥ 80.
C
Inequality 2 is incorrect; it should be g < 3k – 3.
D
Inequality 2 is incorrect; it should be g ≥ 3k – 3.

The system of inequalities represents the number of hours he can walk, w, and the number of hours he can run, r, to reach his goal.3w + 6r ≥ 363w + 6r ≤ 90

Question illustration
A
2 hours walking; 12 hours running
B
4 hours walking; 3 hours running
C
9 hours walking; 12 hours running
D
12 hours walking; 10 hours running
