Can you check the following problems related to inequalities?
1) Sue has more than 5 cookies.
Ans: x > 5
2) The temperature was less than 88 degrees last night.
Ans: x < 88
3) I made $75 or more dollars babysitting.
Ans: x >= 75?
4) I need to make a 70 or more on my next test.
Ans: x >= 70?
5) In my bank account I have $100 or less.
Ans: x >= 100?
#5. x <= 100
Oh.. thanks!
Certainly! Let's go through each problem one by one and analyze them. To solve each problem, we'll determine the correct inequality based on the given information.
1) Sue has more than 5 cookies.
In this case, we know that Sue has more cookies than the number 5. To represent this in an inequality, we use the "greater than" symbol. Therefore, the correct inequality is x > 5, where 'x' represents the number of cookies Sue has.
2) The temperature was less than 88 degrees last night.
Here, we are given that the temperature last night was lower than 88 degrees. To express this, we use the "less than" symbol. So, the correct inequality is x < 88, where 'x' represents the temperature.
3) I made $75 or more dollars babysitting.
The problem states that the amount of money made babysitting is equal to or greater than $75. To represent this, we use the "greater than or equal to" symbol. Hence, the correct inequality is x >= 75, where 'x' represents the amount of money made.
4) I need to make a 70 or more on my next test.
We are given that the required score on the next test should be 70 or higher. To convey this, we use the "greater than or equal to" symbol. Therefore, the correct inequality is x >= 70, where 'x' represents the test score.
5) In my bank account, I have $100 or less.
Here, we know that the amount of money in the bank account is $100 or less. To express this, we use the "less than or equal to" symbol. So, the correct inequality is x <= 100, where 'x' represents the amount of money in the bank account.
It's important to note that the inequalities in questions 3, 4, and 5 have a question mark at the end. However, the correct symbols to use are >= (greater than or equal to) in all cases.
