You can't have negative books or more than 5. Therefore 0 Is less than or equal to x which is less than or equal to 5. Use the actual signs sorry I can't type the sign on this device.

Answer: Our inequality would be
b\leq 5

Explanation:

Since we have given that

No more than 5 books are in his backpack.

Let the number of books be 'b'.

Since there should not be more than 5 books.

So, less than or equal sign should be used.

As number of books should be less than or equal to 5.

So, Mathematically, it is expressed as


b\leq 5

Hence, our inequality would be
b\leq 5
