Question

Last week, Jason ran 26. 1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2. 4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2. 4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2. 4 4p 2. 4 ___ 26. 1 Which inequality symbol should he use? Why?.

Answer 1

Last week, Jason ran 26. 1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2. 4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2. 4 miles back from the park he will use "Equals to" symbol of  inequality then the equation will be  2.4+4p+2.4 = 26.1.

Given:

• Jason ran 26.1 miles.
• He plans to run 2. 4 miles, four times around the park.
• 2. 4 miles back from the park.

To find the inequality symbol of this equation we need to understand the concept of inequality.

What is Inequality?

An Inequality is a Relation which simplifies a non-equal comparison between two or more numbersby using some mathematical expression. Inequality is used mainly to equate two numbers on the number line by the sizes.

Here according to the given question, the equation will be $\rm 2.4+4p+2.4 = 26.1$

Assume

p = distance covered around the park

The total distance covered by Jason = 26.1 miles.

We can also write it as 2.4+4p+2.4 miles

Therefore, Jason will use "Equals to" symbol of inequality then the equation will be  2.4+4p+2.4 = 26.1.
