Answer: s ≤ 48

Explanation:

It is given that there are 24 seats on a bus that can hold 48 students by multiplication.

24 seats * 2 students per seat = 48 students total

To write an inequality showing the number of students that could safely ride the bus, we know that s can be anywhere less than or equal to 48 students. This gives us our inequality.

s ≤ 48
