Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

got it right on a quiz/edge.

Answer 2

Answer:

Anja’s phrase should have ended with “less than –15”, not “at least –15”.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement:

Anja represents the inequality $\frac{4-g}{8}< -15$

with the phrase “the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8 is at least –15.”

Let the number be g.

“the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8" translated to $\frac{4-g}{8}$

"at least" means $\leq$

then;

“the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8 is at least –15.” translated to $\frac{4-g}{8}\leq -15$

Therefore, Anja’s phrase should have ended with “less than –15”, not “at least –15”.
