Question

The table shows weights of dogs recently seen by the vet and if they were switched to a weight control dog food. Write an inequality that can be used to determine whether a dog seen by the vet will need to be placed on weight control dog food. Dog's Weight Regular Food Weight Control Food 62.7 lbs 35.2 lbs 14.8 lbs 73.9 lbs 34.9 lbs

Answer 1

Answer : w > 34.9

According to the table, the maximum weight of a dog before it can be place on a regular food is 34.9

Any weight above 34.9 means the dog would switch weight control food

Before, a dog can switched to weight control dog food, then its weight must be greater than 34.9

The inequality of this expression will be w > 34.9

W > 34.9 implies that any weight of the dog above 34.9 will switch to weight control dog food
