Requires 2 ice-cream scoops and 6 strawberries. Ramses wants to make sundaes and milkshakes with at most 25 ice-cream scoops and 37 strawberries. Let S denote the number of sundaes he makes and M the number of milkshakes he makes. Write an inequality that represents the condition based on the number of strawberries.
Q. Requires 2 ice-cream scoops and 6 strawberries. Ramses wants to make sundaes and milkshakes with at most 25 ice-cream scoops and 37 strawberries. Let S denote the number of sundaes he makes and M the number of milkshakes he makes. Write an inequality that represents the condition based on the number of strawberries.
Identify Quantity: Identify the number of strawberries required for each sundae and milkshake. Each sundae requires 6 strawberries, and milkshakes do not require strawberries.
Set Up Inequality: Set up the inequality for the total number of strawberries used. Since only sundaes use strawberries, the total strawberries used is 6 times the number of sundaes, S.
Write Maximum Limit Inequality: Write the inequality based on the maximum strawberries available. Ramses can use at most 37 strawberries, so the inequality is:6S≤37
