Solve the linear inequality. Other than ∅, use interval notation to express the solution set and graph the solution set
on a number line.
-It takes 25 minutes to set up a candy making machine. Once the machine is set up, it produces 30 candies per minute. Use an inequality to find the number of candies that can be produced in 2 hours if the machine has not yet been set up.
A) 2850 candies or fewer
B) 60 candies or fewer
C) 2250 candies or fewer
D) 1500 candies or fewer

The machine takes 25 minutes to set up, which is 25/60 = 5/12 of an hour. So, in 2 hours, the machine will be set up for 2 - 5/12 = 11/12 of an hour. In that time, it will produce 30 * 11/12 = 275 candies. So, the total number of candies that can be produced in 2 hours is 25 + 275 = 300 candies.
