A factory can work its employees no more than 5 days a week, and no less than 2 days per

Answer 1

Answer: A.) 2 <= X <= 5

B.) 48 < = X < = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a factory can work its employees no more than 5 days a week, that is, less than or equal to 5 days a week

And also, no less than 2 days per week. That is, greater than or equal to 2 day a week.

Let X represent the number of days an employee can work per week.

According to the first statement,

X < = 5

According to the second statement,

X >= 2

An inequality to represent the range of days an employee can work will be

2 < = X <= 5

To represent the range in hours, first convert the number of days to hour

1 day = 24 hours

2 days = 2 × 24 = 48 hours

5 days = 5 × 24 = 120 hours

Therefore, the range will be

48 < = X < = 120
