Answer 1

The number of long-sleeves shirts Reid wants to bring to the summer camp is represented by the inequality in the second option

l ≤ 6

Please find attached the graph of then inequality, created with MS Word

The steps used to find the inequality that models the situation are presented as follows;

The total number of shirts Reid plans to bring to the summer camp are 15 shirts

The number of long-sleeve shirts Reid wants to bring to the summer camp are = no more than 6 long-sleeve shirts

The quantity, represented by the expression 'no more than 6 long-sleeve shirts' indicates that Reid plans to bring with him, at most, 6 long-sleeve shirts, which represents 6 or less long-sleeve shirts, which can be represented by l ≤ 6

The inequality from the possible that models the number of long-sleeves shirts Reid might bring is the option, l ≤ 6.

The graph that represents the inequality includes a ray, with an arrow in the left direction and a closed circle at 6
