Question

Chandler, Jamal, Allison, and Qi are given the following problem. In 1982, Wayne Gretsky set a record for the greatest number of hockey goals in one season with 92 goals. If a player has scored 60 goals this season and averages 2 goals per game, how many additional games must he play to break the record? Each student writes an inequality to represent the situation. Chandler wrote 60 + 2g ≥ 92 Jamal wrote 60 + 2g > 92 Allison wrote 60 + 2g < 92 Qi wrote 60 + 2g ≤ 92 Whose inequality is CORRECT? A. Qi B. Chandler C. Allison D. Jamal

Answer 1

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Since Chandler, Jamal, Allison, and Qi are given the following problem: "In 1982, Wayne Gretsky set a record for the greatest number of hockey goals in one season with 92 goals. If a player has scored 60 goals this season and averages 2 goals per game, how many additional games must he play to break the record? ", And each student writes an inequality to represent the situation:

Chandler wrote 60 + 2g ≥ 92

Jamal wrote 60 + 2g> 92

Allison wrote 60 + 2g <92

Qi wrote 60 + 2g ≤ 92

To determine whose inequality is correct, the following calculation must be performed:

92 - 60 = 32

32/2 = 16

Chandler: 60 + 2x16 ≥ 92

Thus, Chandler wrote the correct option.
