Question

To join the school swim team, swimmers must be able to swim at least 800 yards without stopping. Let n represent the number of yards a swimmer can swim without stopping. Write an inequality describing which values of n will result in a swimmer making the team.

A) n ≤ 800.
B) n < 800.
C) n ≥ 800.
D) n > 800.

Answer 1

The values of n that will result in a swimmer making the team are n ≥ 800.

Step-by-step explanation:

To join the school swim team, swimmers must be able to swim at least 800 yards without stopping. In mathematical notation, this can be represented as n ≥ 800.
