Enter an inequality to represent the situation and then graph the solution.
There are at least 4 slices of bread left in the bag. Use p as your variable.
Enter an inequality to represent the situation and then graph the solution.
There are fewer than 5 gallons of gas in the tank. Use f as your variable.
p >= 4
Cannot graph on these posts.
p>=4
To represent the situation where there are at least 4 slices of bread left in the bag, we can use the inequality:
p ≥ 4
Explanation:
- The variable p represents the number of slices of bread.
- The symbol "≥" indicates "greater than or equal to".
- So, the inequality p ≥ 4 means that the number of slices of bread, p, must be greater than or equal to 4.
To graph the solution on a number line:
1. Draw a number line with a scale.
2. Place an open circle (○) or closed circle (●) at the value 4, depending on whether the inequality includes or excludes 4.
3. Draw an arrow extending to the right direction to indicate that the values of p should be greater than or equal to 4.
Here is a visual representation of the graph:
●───┐
└───► p
The circle at 4 is closed (●) because the inequality includes 4 as one of the possible values.
