Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Raspberry = 6.1 pound

Required

Represent the given parameters with an inequality and describe the inequality

From the given parameters, we understand that the number of strawberry is more than the number of raspberry

The bold text above implies greater than;

Representing that, using mathematics notations; we have

Strawberry > Raspberry

Substitute 6.18 for Strawberry and 6.1 for Raspberry;

$6.18 > 6.1$
