p less-than-or-equal-to 55

p≥55
p greater-than-or-equal-to 55

p>55
p greater than 55

p<55

Answer 2

Some population experts say Earth cannot sustain a population of more than 10 billion people. How would you write an inequality showing the sustainable population (p) in billions of people?(1 point)
Responses

p≤10
p less-than-or-equal-to 10

p>10
p greater than 10

p<10
p less-than-or-equal-to 10,000,000,000

p≥10

Answer 3

Suppose a scientist finds that the average female gorilla needs to have at least 2.1 surviving offspring in order for the population to replace itself from generation to generation. How would she write an inequality that shows the number of offspring (c) that will cause the population to decrease from generation to generation?(1 point)
Responses

c>2.1
c greater than 2.1

c≥2.1
c greater-than-or-equal-to 2.1

c<2.1
c less than 2.1

c≠2.1
