Multiple Choice

Use Mathematical Models Involving Linear Inequalities
-A man is planting a section of garden with tomatoes and cucumbers. The available area of the section is 110 square feet. He wants the area planted with tomatoes to be more than 40% of the area planted with cucumbers. Write a system of inequalities to describe the situation. Let x = amount to be planted in tomatoes and y = amount to be planted in cucumbers.

• A) \(x + y \leq 110\)
• \(x > 0.40 y\)
• \(x \geq 0\)
• \(y \geq 0\)
• B) \(x + y = 110\)
• \(x \geq 0.40 y\)
• \(x \geq 0\)
• \(y \geq 0\)
• C) \(x + y \leq 110\)
• \(0.40 \mathrm { x } > \mathrm { y }\)
• \(x \geq 0\)
• \(y \geq 0\)
• D) \(x + y \leq 110\)
• \(\mathrm { x } < 0.40 \mathrm { y }\)
• \(x \geq 0\)
• \(y \geq 0\)
