If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:
1/3x < 20
To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.
x < 60
Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.
Hope this helps!
