The sum of 4.5 and one-third a number is equal to at most 39.9. What are all the possible values of the number? How would you write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem? (1 point)
Possible values of the number: 33.3, 33.6, 33.9, 34.2, 34.5, 34.8, 35.1, 35.4, 35.7, 36.0, 36.3, 36.6, 36.9, 37.2, 37.5, 37.8, 38.1, 38.4, 38.7, 39.0, 39.3, 39.6
Inequality: 4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 39.9
Why would the bot list about 20 possible solutions, there would be an infinite numer of them ??
4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 39.9
x/3 ≤ 35.5
x ≤ 106.2
Let's call the unknown number "x".
The sum of 4.5 and one-third of x can be written as: 4.5 + (1/3)x.
According to the problem, this sum is equal to at most 39.9. Therefore, we can write the inequality:
4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 39.9
