Fishing adventures rents small fishing boats to tourists for day-long fishing trips. Each boat can hold at most eight people. Additionally, each boat can only carry 900 pounds of weight for safety reasons.

a) Let p represent the total number of people. Write an inequality to describe the number of people that a boat can hold. Draw a number line diagram that shows all possible solutions.

b) Let w represent the total weight of a group of people wishing to rent a boat. Write an inequality that describes all total weights allowed in a boat. Draw a number line diagram that shows all possible solutions.
