Question

Write an inequality that represents the situation. Eduardo’s phone plan provides a maximum of 4 gigabytes of data each month. Does x < 4 represent his phone plan, where x is the amount of data he receives each month in gigabytes? Explain.

Answer 1

He can get 4 gigabytes so

x≤4

because he could get 4 gigabytes of data.

x<4 means he could get up to 4 gigabytes of data but could not get 4 gigabytes of data.

The correct inequality is x≤4
