Question

which of these solution can be modeled by the inequality x <250?

a. an auditorium's seating capacity x , is at most 250 people

b. the distance, x , that fred needs to travel each day is a least 250 miles

c. the number of x, who attended the conferencewas fewer than 250

d. the temperature, x, required to melt a certain container inside an oven is more than 250

Answer 1

Looking at each situation, A would be best represented by a less than or equal to sign. B has a minimum of 250, so it would be represented by a greater than or equal to sign. D would simply require a greater than sign. Finally, the correct answer C is best represented by the less than sign given in the question.
