Question

Write an inequality that represents the situation.A certain swimming pool holds no more than 700,000 gallons. How many gallons might be in the pool?

Answer 1

Let x represent the number of gallons that might be in the pool. When we say 'no more than 700000 gallons', it means 'less than or equal to 700000'. The symbol for 'less than or equal' to is '≤ '

Thus, the inequality representing this situation is

x ≤ 700000
