Question

Which of the following inequality statements best represent the verbal expression?

Answer 1

The answer should be 2a< 5
                        

Answer 2

Answer:

B. $2a\leq 5$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

'The product of a number and 2 is no more than 5'.

Let the number = a.

So, the product of the number and 2 = $2a$

Now, this product is no more than 5.

That is, the product is either equal to 5 or less than 5.

Thus, we get the corresponding expressions is $2a\leq 5$.

Hence, option B is correct.
