I have to write an inequality for this word problem A kite can be flown in wind speeds no less than 7 miles per hour and no more than 16 miles per hour. Write an inequality for the wind speeds at which the kite can fly

I'm pretty sure you would write "x ≤ 7 and x ≥ 16"

* x ≥ 7 and x ≤ 16 (wrote the wrong signs)

To write an inequality for this word problem, you need to consider that the kite can be flown in wind speeds no less than 7 miles per hour and no more than 16 miles per hour.

Let's denote the wind speed as "w". Since the kite can be flown in wind speeds no less than 7 miles per hour, we can write the lower limit inequality as:

w ≥ 7 miles per hour

Similarly, since the kite can be flown in wind speeds no more than 16 miles per hour, we can write the upper limit inequality as:

w ≤ 16 miles per hour

Putting these together, the inequality for the wind speeds at which the kite can fly is:

7 ≤ w ≤ 16 miles per hour.
