- [Narrator] Ngozi, I think that's how it pronounced
Ngozi gozi needs to send out 300 wedding invitations.
In, let me underline that.
300 wedding invitations.
In one minute, she can put 6 invitations into envelops
and apply stamps to them.
It takes her a minimum of 50 seconds
to address each invitation by hand.
If n represents the number of invitations
Ngozi can prepare for mailing 180 minutes,
which of the following inequalities
best models the situation described above?
So, over here you have
180 greater than or equal to something.
Its in terms of n.
In terms of the number of invitations.
Here is 180 greater than.
This is 300 less than or equal to.
This is 300 less than right over here.
Now, remember what our constraint is here.
Our constraint is how many can she prepare in 180 minutes.
How many invitations can she prepare in 180 minutes.
And so, it feels like
and I have done the math here
that you are want one of them that deals with the 180.
And since you can do it up to a 180
that you would want not just the amount of time
that is less than 180, but it has to be
less than or equal to or 180.
Doesn't need to be greater than the amount of time.
It could be greater than or equal to
as long as this is equal to 180, we are fine.
So, without doing any math
I am already feeling that this right over here
is going to be the answer.
The 300 they are getting this from the fact that
there is 300 wedding invitations
to make.
Now, there is the absolute cap
on the total of number of wedding invitations
that she might be able to do.
But, that's not going to be
that's not the constraint that we are talking about.
We are constraining her actual time here.
So, lets verify that we feel good about this.
And it looks like they did everything in minutes.
So, lets do everything in minutes.
So, any one envelope
so, lets see in one minute
she can put 6 invitations into envelopes.
So, any one invitation, I guess I could say
how much was she spent
how much time would she spent
sticking into an envelope and applying stamps?
Was she going to spend sixth of the minute?
So, she is gonna spend one sixth of a minute
I am gonna do everything in am minute
because its look like there in minute over here.
A sixth of a minute
putting any one invitation into an envelope
and putting stamps on them.
And than how much time would she spend
on writing the address?
Would she is gonna spend 50 seconds
to write the address for any one invitation?
But, its in terms of minute
that's 50 out of 60 seconds in a minute or
so we could right this 5/6 of a minute.
And I am really tempted to add these
because they add up to 1 to 6, 6.
But, it doesn't look like they added them over here
so, I am gonna keep them like this.
So, this is how much time in minutes
she would spend on any one invitation.
And then if she is doing n invitations,
well this is per invitation
and then you multiply it by n
so, times n, this is a total amount of time
she would spend if she did n invitations.
Ans so, this thing right over here
has to be less than or equal to 180.
So, we could write it like this
we say less than or equal to 180
or we could say that 180
or we could write that
180 is going to be greater than or equal to that.
And if you distribute the n
you are gonna get this thing right over here.
You are going to get 180 is greater than or equal to
(n/6 + 5n/6).
Which is exactly what you have here.
But, it is really interesting
because just looking at the choices
actually jumped out pretty fast
that this would probably going to be the one
that we cared about.
