1.) Translate to an inequality.
The average speed,s, was between 70 and 110mph.
Translation: 70 blank s blank 110
2.) Translate to an inequality. Use the variable x.
The price of a baseball glove is at most $31.49
1. If s is between two numbers, then it is less than one number and greater than another. Logic leeds us to conclude that the smaller number between the two given would be the one s is greater than and the other larger number would be the one s is less than.
Therefore:
70<s<110
2. The price of a baseball glove - x
is at most $31.49 - x cannot be greater than $31.49, but it can be equal
x¡Ü$31.49
1.) To translate the statement "The average speed, s, was between 70 and 110 mph" into an inequality using the variable s, we can use the symbols for greater than (>) and less than (<). Since the average speed s needs to be between 70 and 110 mph, the inequality can be written as:
70 < s < 110
This inequality represents that s is greater than 70 but less than 110.
2.) To translate the statement "The price of a baseball glove is at most $31.49" into an inequality using the variable x, we need to use the less than or equal symbol (≤). Since the price of the baseball glove is at most $31.49, the inequality can be written as:
x ≤ 31.49
This inequality represents that the value of x must be less than or equal to $31.49.
