Full solution

Q. Wang Hao wants to spend at most (15(15 on dairy products. Each liter of goat milk costs )2.40)2.40, and each liter of cow's milk costs $1.20\$1.20. Write an inequality that represents the number of liters of goat milk GG and cow's milk CC Wang Hao can buy on his budget.
  1. Define milk costs: Define the cost per liter for goat milk and cow's milk.\newlineGoat milk costs $2.40\$2.40 per liter, and cow's milk costs $1.20\$1.20 per liter.
  2. Set up the inequality: Set up the inequality to represent the total cost of goat milk and cow's milk.\newlineThe total cost is the sum of the cost of goat milk 2.40G2.40G and the cost of cow's milk 1.20C1.20C, which should be less than or equal to $15\$15.\newlineSo, the inequality is 2.40G+1.20C152.40G + 1.20C \leq 15.
  3. Check the inequality: Check the inequality to ensure it represents the situation correctly.\newlineIf Wang Hao buys 00 liters of goat milk and 00 liters of cow's milk, the inequality holds (0150 \leq 15).\newlineIf Wang Hao buys 11 liter of goat milk and 00 liters of cow's milk, the cost is $2.40\$2.40, and the inequality holds (2.40152.40 \leq 15).\newlineIf Wang Hao buys 00 liters of goat milk and 11 liter of cow's milk, the cost is $1.20\$1.20, and the inequality holds (0000).\newlineThe inequality correctly represents the situation where the total cost of milk purchased is at most 0011.
