By doing a two step equation
Inequalities and equations use similar steps to solve, but inequalities give a range of numbers that can represent the variable while an equation will give a direct answer.
Example:
4+5x=24
First you would subtract 4 or add the opposite of 4 from 24.
4+5x=24
+(-4) +(-4)
—————
5x=20
Then divide each side by 5 or multiply each side by the reciprocal of 5 to isolate the variable.
1/5*5x=20*1/5 (reciprocal)
X= 4
You would use the same steps in an inequality but end up with a different sign.

Step-by-step explanation:
Part A.
Ashwin had a 4-cm cube.
volume of cube = side^3
volume = (4 cm)^3 = 64 cm^3
Ashwin has 64 small cubes.
We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part A. Only prisms with at most 64 cm^3 volume can be the answer.
A. v = 2 * 4 * 7 = 28
B. v = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120
C. v = 5 * 5 * 4 = 100
D. v = 4 * 7 * 5 = 140
E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60
Part A. answer: A, E
Part B.
Dora had a 5-cm cube.
volume of cube = side^3
volume = (5 cm)^3 = 125 cm^3
Dora has 125 small cubes.
We need to find the volumes of all prisms in Part B. Only prisms with at most 125 cm^3 volume can be the answer.
A. v = 3 * 3 * 8 = 72
B. v = 3 * 4 * 5 = 60
C. v = 6 * 6 * 4 = 144
D. v = 5 * 8 * 4 = 160
E. v = 3 * 5 * 4 = 60
Part B. answer: A, B, E
