Question

Addison works at a pet store. She worked less than 40 hours last week.

Create an inequality that represents the number of hours, n, Addison worked last week.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number of hours she worked last week be n. If Addison worked less than 40 hours last week, this is expressed as:

n < 40 here < represents the less than sign. This means that Addison cannot work for any hour that is 40 and greater, she can only work for hours less than 40 e.g 39, 38hr etc.

The correct inequality expression is n< 40
