Banana trees yield 32 pounds of fruit per acre, and strawberry plants yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre. Suppose Erica is planning a farm with \(b\) acres of banana trees and \(s\) acres of strawberry plants. Her goal is to yield more than 1,200 pounds of fruit. What is the constraint inequality that represents this scenario?

A. \(32b + 84s \geq 1,200\)

B. \(32b + 84s > 1,200\)

C. \(116(b + s) > 1,200\)

D. \(116(b + s) \geq 1,200\)

Answer :

Answer:

32b + 84s > 1,200

Step-by-step explanation:

Erica farm is having b acres of banana trees and s acres of strawberry plants.

It is given Banana trees yield 32 pounds of fruit per acre and strawberry plants yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre .

Yield of Banana tree =32b.

Yield of strawberry plant=84s

Total yields = 32b+84s.

Erica goal is to yield more than 12,000 pounds of fruits .

So,32b + 84s > 1,200.

Second option is the right option.
The answer is B.

The inequality is > because we want more than 1200 lbs. of fruit.
