Question

b. Write and graph an inequality to represent the length l of each striped bass you are allowed to catch.

Answer 1

a)

`b\leq3`

b)

`l\ge18`

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let b represent the number of striped bass one is allowed to catch.

Since we're only allowed to catch at most 3 striped basses, that is, the number of striped basses can be less than or equal to 3 but not more, we can go ahead and write the inequality as seen below;

`b\leq3`

See below the graph of the above inequality on a number line;

b) Let l represent the length of each striped bass

Since each striped bass must not be less than 18 inches long, that is, each striped bass can

be more than or equal to 18 inches in length but not less, we can go ahead and write the inequality as seen below;

`l\ge18`

Graphing on a number line, we'll have;
