Question

Translate the following sentence into an algebraic inequality:

The quotient of a number, n, and ten is no less than twelve.
Question 1 options:

A)

n∕10 ≥ 12

B)

n + 10 ≥ 12

C)

10∕n ≥ 12

D)

10n ≥ 12

Answer 1

Answer: A).
`\ (n)/(10)\geq12`

Explanation:

We know that, the quotient of a and b
`=(a)/(b)`

Given: The quotient of a number, n, and ten is no less than twelve.

`i.e. \ (n)/(10)\geq12` [no less than means either greater or equal]

The required algebraic inequality:

`\ (n)/(10)\geq12`

Hence, the correct option is A).
`\ (n)/(10)\geq12`
