Q. Fleur wants to make tables and chairs. She has a total of 150 wooden boards and 330 nails.17T+6C≤150 represents the number of tables T and chairs C she can make with 150 wooden boards.34T+27C≤330 represents the number of tables and chairs she can make with 330 nails.Does Fleur have enough boards and nails to make 3 tables and 9 chairs?Choose 1 answer:(A) Fleur has enough boards and nails.(B) Fleur has enough boards but not enough nails.(C) Fleur has enough nails but not enough boards.(D) Fleur has neither enough boards nor enough nails.
Check wooden board availability: Check if Fleur has enough wooden boards to make 3 tables and 9 chairs using the inequality 17T+6C≤150.Substitute T with 3 and C with 9.17(3)+6(9)≤15051+54≤150105≤150
Verify wooden board calculation: Verify the calculation for the number of wooden boards needed.51+54=105105≤150 is a true statement, which means Fleur has enough wooden boards to make 3 tables and 9 chairs.
Check nail availability: Check if Fleur has enough nails to make 3 tables and 9 chairs using the inequality 34T+27C≤330.Substitute T with 3 and C with 9.34(3)+27(9)≤330102+243≤330345≤330
Verify nail calculation: Verify the calculation for the number of nails needed.102+243=345345≤330 is a false statement, which means Fleur does not have enough nails to make 3 tables and 9 chairs.
