Question

kendall is trying out a new meatloaf recipe for dinner tonight. the recipe says it will take 50 minutes to cook in the oven and no more than 15 minutes to prepare the ingredients. let p represent the time, in minutes, kendall might spend preparing the ingredients. which inequality models the story? p ≤ 15 p ≤ 50 p ≥ 15 p ≥ 50 graph the inequality that models the story. to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify key - word

The recipe says no more than 15 minutes to prepare the ingredients. "No more than" means less than or equal to.

Step2: Write the inequality

Let \(p\) be the time in minutes for preparing ingredients. So the inequality is \(p\leq15\).

Answer:

A. \(p\leq15\)
To graph \(p\leq15\):

• Plot a closed - circle at \(p = 15\) (because the inequality includes equality, i.e., \(p\) can be 15) on the number line.
• Draw an arrow to the left of 15 to represent all the values of \(p\) that are less than or equal to 15.
