Use the image to answer the question.
A number line ranges from 0 to 25 in 1 unit increments. An open point is labeled and plotted at 18.5. An arrow extends from that point to the right and goes beyond 25. The number line is labeled Ben's Earnings Each Saturday Morning.
What inequality is shown on the graph? Write your inequality with the variable coming first. Use the letter m for the variable. Write your answer using a decimal number.
m > 18.5
To answer this question, we need to understand what the image represents and then deduce the inequality shown on the graph.
The number line ranges from 0 to 25 in 1 unit increments, and it represents Ben's Earnings Each Saturday Morning. An open point is labeled and plotted at 18.5 (which is between 18 and 19 on the number line).
From this information, we can determine that Ben's earnings (m) are greater than 18.5. However, the arrow extending from the point to the right and going beyond 25 suggests that Ben's earnings are not limited to any specific value after 25.
Therefore, the inequality shown on the graph is: m > 18.5.
Note: The inequality uses the variable m (which represents Ben's earnings) and the greater than symbol (>) to indicate that his earnings are greater than 18.5.
