Answer:


r < 11 kg

Explanation:

Given :

Two puppies, Ruth and Scoonsie, are playing together.

Scoonsie weighs 11 kilograms.

Ruth is lighter than Scoonsie.

To Find : An inequality that describes r, Ruth's weight in kilograms.

Solution :

Since we are given that Scoonsie weighs 11 kilograms.

And also we are given that Ruth is lighter than Scoonsie i.e. Ruth's wieght is less than Scoonsie's weight .

Since r denotes Ruth's weight


r < 11 kg

Hence an inequality that describes r, Ruth's weight in kilograms:


r < 11 kg
