Question

Mason is purchasing wooden blocks to build a birdhouse. Each block costs $1.80, and Mason wants to spend less than $36. Which inequality represents all the possible number of blocks, n, that Mason can buy to stay within his budget?
Responses
A n > 20n > 20
B n < 20n < 20
C n ≥ 20n ≥ 20
D n ≤ 20n ≤ 20

Answer 1

The cost of each block is $1.80 and Mason wants to spend less than $36. Therefore, the inequality representing all the possible number of blocks that Mason can buy is:

1.80n < 36

This inequality represents the condition that the total cost (1.80n) should be less than $36. Thus, the correct answer is:

B) n < 20
