Answer:
Part a) The inequality that represent the situation is
Part b) The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> the length of the first wire
3x---> the length of the second wire
2(3x)=6x -----> the length of the third wire
Part a) WRITE AN *INEQUALITY* THAT MODELS THE SITUATION
we know that
The inequality that represent the situation is

Part b) WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE LENGTHS OF THE SHORTEST PIECE OF WIRE?
we know that
The shortest piece of wire is the first wire
so
Solve the inequality



The possible lengths of the shortest piece of wire are all positive real numbers less than or equal to 
You can multiply 8 times 9 to get 72 and then move the decimal over to the right to get the answer of 7.2
Rhombus (like a squished rectangle)
This is because there are always two pairs of parallel sides, equivalent pairs, and two angles that are acute, and two that are obtuse.
I hope this helps!
Answer:
3.5 gallons of gas
Step-by-step explanation:
If m = miles
And the equation is m = 40g
Then: 140 = 40g
40g/40 = 140/40
g = 3.5 gallons of gas.
The car used "3.5" gallons of gas.
