Use Mathematical Models Involving Linear Inequalities
-A volunteer wants to crochet beach hats and baby afghans for a church fund-raising bazaar. She needs 6 hours to make a hat and 5 hours to make an afghan and she has 30 hours available. Write an inequality that describes the situation and use the inequality to decide whether she can make 5 hats and 9 afghans in the time allowed. Let $x$ represent the number of hats and $y$ the number of afghans that she makes.

A) $6 x + 5 y \leq 30$ ; no
B) $6 x + 5 y \leq 30$ ; yes
C) $6 x + 5 y \geq 30 ; n o$
D) $6 x + 5 y \geq 30$ ; yes
