Question

An international shipping company has established size limits for packages with all their services. The total of the length of the longest side and the girth (distance completely around the package at its widest point perpendicular to length) must be less than or equal to 419 centimeters. Write an inequality that represents this situation. 

Answer 1

Let's use the variable "x" to represent the length of the longest side of the package, and "y" to represent the girth. Then, the total of the length of the longest side and the girth can be expressed as:

x + y

According to the problem statement, the total of the length of the longest side and the girth must be less than or equal to 419 centimeters. Therefore, we can write the inequality:

x + y ≤ 419

This inequality ensures that the size of the package does not exceed the limit set by the shipping company.
