A doctor’s office schedules 15-minute appointments and half-hour appointments for weekdays. The doctor limits these appointments to, at most, 30 hours per week. Write an inequality to represent the number of 15-minute appointments x and the number of half-hour appointments y the doctor may have in a week.

Hey so I'm actually working on this same exact problem lol,.... 
Would it be 
15x + 30y <= 30?

anonymous · Answer

Sorry I'm thinking t = 15 may be?

anonymous · Answer

Zezzy is on the right track. You'll need to convert that 30 (which is hours) to minutes since you have minutes on the left side of your inequality (15minutes and 30 minutes). Just multiply the 30 by 60
