Question

Which inequality represents the situation? The maximum weight, w, an elevator can lift is 2,200 pounds. w ≥ 2,200 w > 2,200 w ≤ 2,200 w < 2,200

Answer 1

w ≤ 2200

Explanation:

If a lift can lift a maximum weight of 2200pounds, this means that the lift can not life a weight greater than 2200pounds. For the expression needed, the inequality sign to use will be a less than or equal to sign( ≤ ).

Hence the requires inequality expression will be w ≤ 2200
