Banana trees yield 32 pounds of fruit per acre and strawberry plants yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre. Suppose Erica is planning a farm to have b acres of banana trees and s acres of strawberry plants. Her goal is to yields more than 1,200 pounds of fruit. What is the constraint inequality that represents this scenario?

32b + 84s ≥ 1,200

32b + 84s > 1,200

116 (f + s) > 1,200

116 (f + s) ≥ 1,200

The answer is B.

The inequality is > because we want more than 1200 lbs. of fruit.

Mccarty · Answer 2

32b + 84s > 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Erica farm is having b acres of banana trees and s acres of strawberry plants.

It is given Banana trees yield 32 pounds of fruit per acre and strawberry plants yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre.

Yield of Banana tree = 32b.

Yield of strawberry plant=84s

Total yields = 32b+84s.

Erica goal is to yield more than 12,000 pounds of fruits.

So, 32b + 84s > 1,200.

Second option is the right option.
