OR AN OREO.

A certain canoe was advertised as having an "800 pound capacity," meaning that it can hold at most 800 pounds. If four people plan to use the canoe and take 60 pounds of supplies, write and solve an inequality to find the average weight per person.

EXPLAIN. THANK YOU.

Answer 1

a riddle please

Answer 2

Let the average weight per person be p kg.
4(p+60)≤800

Answer 3

Each person holds 60 pounds of supplies, therefore p+60
There are four "persons and supplies", therefore 4(p+60)
At most 800, which means smaller than or equal to 800, therefore ≤800
