Question

The inequality of the most people that can be seated in the auditorium

Answer 1

Let x be the number of people that can be seated.

The value of x is some number 0 or greater, such that this number is a whole number (we can't have half a person). This means that $x \ge 0$ which is the same as saying $0 \le x$

The instructions state that we can seat up to 1200 people. This is the max capacity. We can't go over this amount. So we will also have $x \le 1200$ indicating that x can be less than 1200 or equal to 1200.

So putting the two inequalities together, we get $0 \le x \le 1200$

Note: if you haven't learned about compound inequalities yet, then the teacher may only want $x \le 1200$ as the answer.
