Question

The sum of 4.5 and one-third a number is equal to at most 38.9. What are all the possible values of the number? How would you write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem?(1 point) Responses

Answer 1

Let's assume the number is represented by "x".

The sum of 4.5 and one-third of the number is given by the expression:

4.5 + (1/3)x

According to the problem, this sum is at most 38.9. Therefore, the inequality that can be used to solve this problem is:

4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 38.9
