Q. When Li Juan's auto yard is filled to capacity with only cars, it has 6060 cars. When it is filled to capacity with only vans, it has 5050 vans. Which linear equation models the number of cars, cc, and vans, vv, that could be in Li Juan's auto yard when it is filled to capacity?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) c60+v50=1\frac{c}{60}+\frac{v}{50}=1\newline(B) 60c+50v=160c+50v=1\newline(C) c50+v60=1\frac{c}{50}+\frac{v}{60}=1\newline(D) 50c+60v=150c+60v=1
  1. Prompt: question_prompt: Find the linear equation that models the number of cars, cc, and vans, vv, in Li Juan's auto yard when it is at full capacity.
  2. Maximum Cars Point: If the yard is full with 6060 cars and no vans, then the number of cars is at its maximum. This can be represented by the point (60,0)(60, 0) on the graph where cc is on the x-axis and vv is on the y-axis.
  3. Maximum Vans Point: Similarly, if the yard is full with 5050 vans and no cars, then the number of vans is at its maximum. This can be represented by the point (0,50)(0, 50) on the graph.
  4. Forming Linear Equation: The two points (60,0)(60, 0) and (0,50)(0, 50) can be used to form a straight line equation in the form of (cx)+(vy)=1(\frac{c}{x}) + (\frac{v}{y}) = 1, where xx is the maximum number of cars and yy is the maximum number of vans.
  5. Final Equation: Plugging in the values for xx and yy, we get c60\frac{c}{60} + v50\frac{v}{50} = 11. This equation represents all the combinations of cars and vans that can fill the yard to capacity.
