Question

Guillermo has 6 days left to finish his summer reading project but still needs to select a book to read. He can read a maximum of 22 pages in 1 day. Which inequality can Guillermo use to help him select a book with x pages so that he can complete the book within 6 or fewer days?

1. 6x is less than or equal to 2
2. X/6 is less than or equal to 2

Answer 1

To select a book with x pages so that Guillermo can complete the book within 6 or fewer days, the inequality x ≤ 132 should be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

To select a book with x pages so that Guillermo can complete the book within 6 or fewer days, he needs to find an inequality that represents the number of pages he can read in 6 or fewer days. We know that Guillermo can read a maximum of 22 pages in 1 day. So, in 6 days, he can read a maximum of 6 * 22 = 132 pages.

In order to select a book with x pages that Guillermo can complete within 6 or fewer days, the inequality should be x ≤ 132. This inequality ensures that Guillermo can finish the book within or in fewer than 6 days.
