Description:
Eleanor needs to prepare at least 10 cakes before her restaurant opens in 5 hours. She can bake a red velvet cake in 30 minutes and a chocolate cake in 45 minutes. Because her oven is very small, she can only bake one cake at a time. If a represents the number of red velvet cakes she can make and b represents the number of chocolate cakes she can make, which of the following systems of inequalities best represents Eleanor's situation?

All right see shmoop er's Second of five questions in
- 00:06
this mathey section here we go Eleanor needs apparently takes
- 00:09
before her restaurant opens in five hours That's ten cakes
- 00:10
in five hours to an hour could make a red
- 00:12
velvet cake in thirty minutes Chocolate cake in forty five

minutes because mother is very small but only one case
- 00:15
at a time If represents red delegates you could make
- 00:17
and be represents a number of chocolate cakes you could
- 00:19
make it a filing system follows Best represent eleanor situation
- 00:22
Okay so we're just kind of noodling over the question
- 00:24
here and note that she could bake on ly red
- 00:27
velvet cakes to an hour and we'll that would actually
- 00:31
get her there because she's got to make ten cakes
- 00:34
in five hours and she's gotta have two an hour
- 00:37
so it looks like she doesn't have any room for
- 00:39
chocolate cakes because they take forty five minutes So there's
- 00:43
gonna be an interesting problem in the restaurant So yeah
- 00:46
eleanor is a bit pressed for time so we're going
- 00:49
to figure out this math conundrum for her while she
- 00:51
preps ingredients It takes eleanor thirty minutes to make a
- 00:54
red velvet cake in forty five minutes to make a
- 00:56
chocolate cake Yes Were musing over this because it adds
- 00:59
a lot of complexity of the problem But she has
- 01:01
only five hours till convert all of this in two
- 01:04
minutes to make the unit's match up Right That's The
- 01:07
first thing you always do in these kind of problems
- 01:08
Get the unit's teo sink sixty minutes per hour times
- 01:12
five hours is three hundred minutes that's all the time
- 01:16
She has so she should spend less than or equal
- 01:19
to three hundred minutes So the questions already given us
- 01:22
what the variables are here A and b the cakes
- 01:25
and it's going to be thirty eight for the red
- 01:27
velvet and forty five for the chocolate thing Right So
- 01:30
thirty eight plus forty five b is got to be
- 01:32
less than or equal to the three hundred there And
- 01:34
they're all minutes Here is what we're referring to Eleanor
- 01:37
needs at least ten plates Have dessert for her restaurant
- 01:40
Meaning the number of red velvet cakes eh And the
- 01:43
number of chocolate cakes be must be greater than or
- 01:46
equal to ten So a plus b has to be
- 01:49
Greater than or equal to ten just like that All
- 01:52
right well the two inequalities that represent eleanor situation are
- 01:54
thirty eight plus forty five is less than three hundred
- 01:58
and a plus b is greater than yours able to
- 02:00
ten So that's the answer there See yeah we hope
- 02:03
eleanor will share some of the leftovers with us for
- 02:05
helping around She must make at least ten cakes so
- 02:08
less than or equal to wouldn't work here So get
- 02:10
rid of that one and she only has five hours
- 02:12
so using greater than or equal to and that equality
- 02:14
would be no good either So being the those guys 00:02:17.888 --> [endTime] okay passed the fourth
