Cate solved an inequality to find c, the possible number of cats that a shelter can house. She found that c < 28. Which statement best describes a possible solution to Cate's problem? The shelter can house 15.6 cats because 15.6 < 28. The shelter can house –8 cats because –8 < 28. The shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28. The shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28.

Answer:

The answer to your question is: the third option.

Explanation:

c < 28

Cate' problem

The shelter can house 15.6 cats because 15.6 < 28. This option is incorrect because cats are integers we can not count 0.6 cats.

The shelter can house –8 cats because –8 < 28. -8 is a negative number, cats are not negative so this option is wrong.

The shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28. This is the correct option, 17 is an integer lower than 28.

The shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28. 28 is not consider by the inequality, so this option is wrong.
