Jayden scored more than 2/3 the number of points Kenneth scored. If Jayden scored 30 points, which inequality solution represents , the number of points Kenneth could have scored?

Answer 1

Let's denote the number of points Kenneth scored as "K."

We know that Jayden scored more than 2/3 the number of points Kenneth scored, so we can write this as an inequality:

Jayden's score > (2/3) * Kenneth's score

Since Jayden scored 30 points, we can substitute this into the inequality:

30 > (2/3) * K

To solve for K, we need to isolate it on one side of the inequality. To do this, we can multiply both sides by 3/2:

30 * (3/2) > K

45 > K

So the number of points Kenneth could have scored is represented by the inequality:

K < 45
