write an inequality to model the situation the number n of people who ate hot lunch as school was at most 107
since there are no "fractional" people, there are two ways to look at this
the number is less than 108
the number is less than or equal to 107
n ≤ 107
To write an inequality that models the situation where the number, n, of people who ate hot lunch at school is at most 107, we can use the symbol "≤" which represents "less than or equal to."
The inequality can be written as:
n ≤ 107
This inequality states that the number of people who ate hot lunch, represented by n, is less than or equal to 107.
