Cari owns a horse farm and a horse trailer that can transport up to 8,000 pounds of livestock and tack. she travels with 5 horses whose combined weight is 6,240 pounds. let t represent the average weight of tack per horse. which of the following inequalities could be used to determine the weight of tack cari can allow for each horse?

5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to do this is to find the average weight of the 5 horses:

It is:

6,240 lb

= 1248 lb/horse

  5 horses

and to this, for each horse, we must add t lbs tack.

Thus, 5(1248 lb/horse + t lb) ≤ 8000 lb

would be an appropriate inequality.
