Question

Joe summarises this message: You can only use this playground if you are more than 12 years old. Like this, you can only use this playground if a > 12. Do a similar thing for this message: You can only use this playground if you are 7 years old or less. Use a again: You can only use this playground if

Answer 1

The playground age restriction 'You can only use this playground if you are 7 years old or less' is translated into the inequality a ≤ 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The message 'You can only use this playground if you are 7 years old or less' can be summarized using a mathematical inequality, similar to the example given for children older than 12. When translating age restrictions into an inequality, you define a variable (like 'a') to represent age. Therefore, to summarize the given message with the variable 'a', you would write it as a ≤ 7, which means 'a is less than or equal to 7.'
