Which of these situations can you represent with the inequality X < and = 49?
1. You must be no more than 49 inches tall to go on this ride.
2. A loaf of bread must be baked for at least 49 minutes.
3. You have no more than 49 minutes left on a parking meter.
4. The bill at a restaurant was at least $49.
My answer is (2) and (3), correct?
Please check my answer, please! Thank you :)
correct
eh?
x <= 49 is "not more than"
So, I'd pick (1)and(3)
Your answer is correct. The situations that can be represented by the inequality X ≤ 49 are:
2. A loaf of bread must be baked for at least 49 minutes: Here, the inequality represents that the baking time must be less than or equal to 49 minutes.
3. You have no more than 49 minutes left on a parking meter: In this case, the inequality signifies that the time remaining on the parking meter should be less than or equal to 49 minutes.
The other situations do not fit the given inequality:
1. You must be no more than 49 inches tall to go on this ride: In this case, the inequality would be X ≤ 49, as being exactly 49 inches tall would still allow you to go on the ride.
4. The bill at a restaurant was at least $49: In this scenario, the inequality should be X ≥ 49, as the bill needs to be greater than or equal to $49, not less than or equal to $49.
