First off, an inequality means that there is no equals sign... it will be either greater than (>) or less than (<). So we'll solve yours with the assumption that it is supposed to be greater than...
2s + 5s + 12 > 132
7s + 12 > 132
7s > 132 - 12
7s > 120
s > 120/7
s > 17 1/7
**If it was supposed to be less than instead of greater than, just change the sign. It doesn't affect the outcome.
Answer: 4) 157
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is no association between the grade level and the andedness, then we should find that the ratio between left handeds and right handed is the same for both grades.
In 7-th grade we have:
Left handed : 11
Right handed: 72
The ratio is 11/72 = 0.14
Then, the ratio for the 8-th graders must be about the same:
Left handed: 24
Right handed: X
Ratio: 24/X
Let's start with the bigger option, X = 157.
24/157 = 0.15
Ok, we now see that with the bigger option we obtained almost the same ratio (if we use the smaller values for X, we will get a ratio bigger than 0.15, so 0.15 is the better aproximation that we can find to the 0.14 of the 7-th graders)
Then the correct option is 4) 157
