Answer to Question #151368 in Algebra for Alleyn

Question

The Queen is placing the pen in an area with 500 square meters of space. She wants the pen to take up no more than 1/3
of the space available.

Which equation correctly represents this situation?

Answer 1

Solution:

$area\,of\,space\,available, A = 500m^2 \\ area\,of\,space\,take\, by\,pen, A_P = \frac{500}{3}m^2 \\ therefore, \\ 0 \leq A_p \leq A \\ \Rightarrow 0 \leq \frac{500}{3} \leq 500 \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \{ the\, required\,equation \}$
