Q. It takes 250g250g of pasta and 240ml240ml of sauce to make one batch of spaghetti, and it takes 600g600g of pasta and 700ml700ml of sauce to make one batch of lasagna. Friedrich is a chef who wants to make spaghetti and lasagna using more than 4000g4000g of pasta and more than 5000ml5000ml of sauce. Let SS denote the number of batches of spaghetti he makes and LL the number of batches of lasagna he makes. Write an inequality that represents the condition based on the number of grams of pasta.
  1. Calculate Pasta for Spaghetti: Calculate the total grams of pasta used for SS batches of spaghetti.\newline250g250g per batch * SS batches =250S= 250S grams of pasta.
  2. Calculate Pasta for Lasagna: Calculate the total grams of pasta used for LL batches of lasagna.600600g per batch * LL batches = 600L600L grams of pasta.
  3. Form Inequality for Friedrich's Condition: Add the pasta used for both spaghetti and lasagna to form an inequality representing Friedrich's condition.\newline250S + 600L > 4000g.
