9. mark is filling up crates with watermelons for the food drive. he has large watermelons that weigh 10 pounds each and smaller watermelons weigh up to 5 pounds. the truck at most can hold no more than 500 pounds. let x represent the larger watermelons and y represent the number of medium watermelons. which inequality represents this situation? a. 5x +3y_< 500 b. 10x + 5y _> 500 c. 10x + 5y< 500 d. 5x +10y > 500 and ill give the brainiest to the correct answer

9. 10x + 5y is the equation for larger watermelons + smaller watermelons (you did not provide information about the medium watermelons, so we must assume given the options you miswrote one of them). We can hold NO MORE than 500 pounds, so 10x + 5y must be smaller than 500. The best answer is C assuming that "5y" represents your "Medium Watermelons"- because smaller watermelons are stated to be 5 and medium ones should therefore be between 5 and 10, the option provided by A wouldn't make since because 3 pounded watermelons are not "medium" in comparison to the "small ones" that are heavier/bigger. Your best option is C, 10x + 5y < 500, the exact answer technically would be 10x + 5y <= 500.

Im pretty sure it’s is b 1.6 mi
