Answer 1

C

Explanation:

person above me is correct

have a good day! :))

Answer 2

Anja’s phrase should have ended with “less than –15”, not “at least –15”.

Explanation:

Given the statement:

Anja represents the inequality
`(4-g)/(8)< -15`

with the phrase “the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8 is at least –15.”

Let the number be g.

“the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8" translated to
`(4-g)/(8)`

"at least" means
`\leq`

then;

“the quotient of the difference of 4 and a number and 8 is at least –15.” translated to
`(4-g)/(8)\leq -15`

Therefore, Anja’s phrase should have ended with “less than –15”, not “at least –15”.
