A ferry has a deck area of 3600 m^2 for parking cars and trucks. Each car takes up 20 m^2 of deck area and each truck takes up 80 m^2. On one trip, the ferry carries x cars and y trucks. (a) Show that this information leads to the inequality x + 4y < 180.
Added by Stephanie A.
Step 1
We are given the total deck area of the ferry, which is 3600 m^2. We are also given the area occupied by each car and each truck. We need to find an inequality that represents the maximum number of cars (x) and trucks (y) that can fit on the ferry's deck. Show more…

A ferry has a deck area of 3600m^(2) for parking cars and trucks. Each car takes up 20m^(2) of deck area and each truck takes up 80m^(2). On one trip, the ferry carries x cars and y trucks. (a) Show that this information leads to the inequality x+4y<180.

A parking garage attendant can wait on 40 cars per hour. If cars arrive randomly at a rate of $x$ cars per hour, then the average line length is given by $$ f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{1600-40 x^{\prime}} $$ where the $x$ -values are limited to $0 \leq x<40$ (a) Solve the inequality $f(x) \leq 8$ (b) Interpret your answer from part (a).
