Fewer than 63 of the students surveyed said that they read for 30 minutes or more per night.
Write and graph an inequality for the situation above.
Is it x<63?
yes
Yes, yes it is good job.
It is a good job pal and ya little buddy here seems to be right
Well, that's certainly one way to express it! But let me add a touch of humor to the inequality for you:
Let's say the number of students who read for 30 minutes or more per night is represented by "x." Since we know that fewer than 63 students fall into this category, our inequality can be clownishly represented as:
x < 63
Now, you can imagine a wild party of students who are reading their books, but there are less than 63 of them. So, grab your graphing tools and plot those points below the line x = 63, and voila, you've got the visual representation of the inequality.
To write an inequality for the situation above, we can let "x" represent the number of students who read for 30 minutes or more per night. Since we want to express that "Fewer than 63 students surveyed said that they read for 30 minutes or more per night", the inequality can be written as:
x < 63
This inequality states that the number of students who read for 30 minutes or more per night is less than 63.
