Question

There is a closed carton of eggs in Mai's refrigerator. The carton contains "e" eggs and it can hold 12 eggs. What are some possible values of e that will make both e < 12 and e > 0 true?

Answer 1

A couple of solutions:

-Any numbers from 1-11

-E can also equal 12, or can equal zero (≤ or ≥)

Explanation:

The first value is true because 0 and 12 aren't an option because the two equations incudes 0 and 12, but. 12 is greater and 0 is fewer/less than e. This means that it can be around any number from 1-11, so any of those numbers are possible.

The next value can also be a solution because e can equal any number in that batch. This is possible because it can be greater than zero, less than twelve, or it can be equal to any of those.

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11

Explanation:

Any integer greater than 0 and less than 12

The would have to be whole numbers since we don't have parts of eggs in an egg carton

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
