Jocelyn enjoys building robots and painting pictures. It takes her a constant amount of time to build every robot, and it takes her a constant amount of time to paint every picture. She has 15 hours to build robots and paint pictures.In the following inequality, R represents the number of robots Jocelyn can build and P represents the number of paintings she can create over that time period:2R+5P≤15Jocelyn wants to build 3 robots. How many paintings at most can she create in the time that remains?Choose 1 answer:(A) Jocelyn can create at most 0 paintings.(B) Jocelyn can create at most 1 painting.(C) Jocelyn can create at most 2 paintings.(D) Jocelyn can create at most 3 paintings.
Q. Jocelyn enjoys building robots and painting pictures. It takes her a constant amount of time to build every robot, and it takes her a constant amount of time to paint every picture. She has 15 hours to build robots and paint pictures.In the following inequality, R represents the number of robots Jocelyn can build and P represents the number of paintings she can create over that time period:2R+5P≤15Jocelyn wants to build 3 robots. How many paintings at most can she create in the time that remains?Choose 1 answer:(A) Jocelyn can create at most 0 paintings.(B) Jocelyn can create at most 1 painting.(C) Jocelyn can create at most 2 paintings.(D) Jocelyn can create at most 3 paintings.
Problem and Inequality: Understand the problem and the given inequality.The inequality 2R+5P≤15 represents the time constraint for building robots (R) and painting pictures (P). The coefficients 2 and 5 represent the constant amount of time it takes to build a robot and paint a picture, respectively. Jocelyn has a total of 15 hours to allocate to these activities.
Substitute Robots: Substitute the number of robots Jocelyn wants to build into the inequality.Jocelyn wants to build 3 robots, so we replace R with 3 in the inequality:2(3)+5P≤15
Time Spent on Robots: Perform the multiplication to find the time spent on building robots.2(3)=6So, the inequality becomes:6+5P≤15
Time Left for Painting: Subtract the time spent on building robots from the total available time to find the time left for painting.15−6=9So, the inequality now is:5P≤9
Solve for P: Divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to solve for P.55P≤59P≤59P≤1.8
Maximum Number of Paintings: Since Jocelyn cannot create a fraction of a painting, we round down to the nearest whole number.Jocelyn can create at most 1 painting.
