Question

You teacher decides to split the class into four equal groups with no more than five students and each group. Write and solve inequality to represent the number of students in the class.

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(4)\leq5 \\ \\ x\leq20 \end{gathered}`

Explanation:

Let x be the number of students in the class, we can establish the following inequality:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(4\:)\le 5 \\ \\ \text{ We solve for x} \\ \\ (x)/(4\:)\cdot4\le5\cdot4 \\ \\ x\:\le20 \end{gathered}`

Which means that the number of students is a maximum of 20 students
