Afreight elevator has a capacity of just under 3,000 pounds . a group of movers wants to move a piano that weighs 900 pounds and several crates of electronic that weigh 300 pounds each part a : write an inequality that shows how many crates of electronics can go on the freight elevator with the piano . part b : solve the inequality from part a to find how many crates of electronics can go on the freight elevator

Freight elevator's capacity will be defined as c.

Pounds (weight) will be defined as w.

So we can say that:

c<3000w

------------------------------

Piano will be defined as 900w.

Number of crates of electronics will be defined as n300w, as we don't know how many crates there are.

--------------------------------

So, with this information we can say that:



----------------------------------

Now let's find out how many crates (n) can go on that elevator with the piano...





The elevator won't be able to accommodate a piano and 7 crates of electronics but it will be able to accommodate a piano and 6 crates of electronics.

We need more info then that
