Question

Assign a variable to each quantity and write each statement as an inequality. Then give an example

Answer 1

Answer:

1.

Variable: x

Inequality: x ≤ 12

Value that matches: 12

2.

Variable: y

Inequality: y < 66

Value that matches: 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (1):

Let x be the variable

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "at most".

At most is used for less than or equal to.

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

x ≤ 12

The range of this inequality is limited to all natural number that do not exceed 12.

Examples are 8, 2, 11, 12

Solving (2):

Let the variable be y

Reading through the question, we have the inequality to be represented by "below".

Below means less than

Hence, the expression can be represented by:

y < 66

The range of this inequality is limited to all number less than 66.

Examples are 65, 1 , 60......
