Example Question #3 : Solve Word Problems Leading To Inequalities: Ccss.Math.Content.7.Ee.B.4b
Express the following as an inequality:
Bob's amount of apples () is more than twice the amount of Adam's bananas ().
To solve, you must convert the statement into an expression. The key work is "is". Whatever is on the left of that in the sentence will be on the left side of the expression. The same goes for the right. Thus, is on the left and is on the right.
Example Question #11 : Writing Inequalities
Write the following as a mathematical inequality:
A number is less than or equal to three times the sum of another number and five
Write the following as a mathematical inequality:
A number is less than or equal to three times the sum of another number and five.
