Together, they can be served at most 112 pancakes, the total number made by the chef.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of childreny= the number of adultsChoices:(A) 3x+y≤112(B) 3x + y < 112(C) x + 3y < 112(D) x+3y≤112
Q. At a pancake breakfast, children are served 1 pancake and adults are served 3 pancakes. Together, they can be served at most 112 pancakes, the total number made by the chef.Select the inequality in standard form that describes this situation. Use the given numbers and the following variables.x= the number of childreny= the number of adultsChoices:(A) 3x+y≤112(B) 3x+y<112(C) x+3y<112(D) x+3y≤112
Children Pancake Calculation: Children get 1 pancake each, so for x children, they get x pancakes.Calculation: 1 pancake/child ×x children = x pancakes.
Adults Pancake Calculation: Adults get 3 pancakes each, so for y adults, they get 3y pancakes.Calculation: 3 pancakes/adult ×y adults = 3y pancakes.
Total Pancake Limit Calculation: The total number of pancakes served to both children and adults cannot exceed 112.Calculation: x pancakes for children + 3y pancakes for adults ≤112 pancakes.
Combine Calculations for Inequality: Combine the calculations for children and adults to form the inequality.Calculation: x+3y≤112.
