Question

Write an inequality for the following situation: The vase will hold up to 28 ounces of water. Use variable w for water.

a) w> 28
b) w≥28
c) w<28
d) w ≤28

Answer 1

The correct inequality for the situation is w ≤ 28, meaning that the amount of water is less than or equal to 28 ounces and will not overflow.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality for the given situation is w ≤ 28. This means that the variable w, representing the amount of water, is less than or equal to 28 ounces. Since the vase will hold up to 28 ounces of water, any amount of water less than or equal to that will not overflow.
