When Margo makes cheese ravioli, she uses both ricotta and mozzarella cheeses to make the filling. She often varies the proportions of the cheeses that she uses, but the number of ounces of ricotta cheese, r, is always more than 3 times the number of ounces of mozzarella cheese, m. For one batch of ravioli that Margo makes, she spends less than $8 on the cheeses. The ricotta cheese costs $0.24 per ounce, and the mozzarella cheese costs $0.15 per ounce. For which of the following systems of inequalities do the positive solutions represent all possible combinations of numbers of ounces of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses that Margo could have used?
