options: Rearrange formulas to highlight a quantity of interest, using the same reasoning as in solving equations. For example, rearrange Ohm’s law V = IR to highlight resistance R.

Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.

Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context. For example, represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost constraints on combinations of different foods.

Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A clothing manufacturer has to use at least 1,000 yards of cotton to make room for new inventory to make shirts and pajamas. A shirt requires 1 yard of fabric, and a pair of pajamas requires 3 yards of fabric. It takes 2 hours to make a shirt and 3 hours to make a pair of pajamas, and there are 1600 hours available to make all of the clothing. Let
$$x$$
represent the number of shirts and
$$y$$
represent the number of pajamas.
What is the smallest number of pajamas the manufacturer can make and meet all of these conditions?
Problem 2
Phil and Cath make and sell boomerangs for a school event. The money they raise will go to charity. They plan to make them in two sizes: small and large.
Phil will carve them from wood.
The small boomerang takes 2 hours to carve, and the large one takes 3 hours to carve.
Phil has a total of 24 hours available for carving.
Cath will decorate them. She only has time to decorate 10 boomerangs of either size.
Phil and Cath want to make as much money for charity as they can.
The small boomerang will make $8 for charity.
The large boomerang will make $10 for charity.
How many small and large boomerangs should they make?
How much money will they then make?
