Question

Text messages cost $.15 each. You can spend no more than $10. Which of the following inequalities represents the amount of text messages m you can send?(1 point)
Responses

.15m≥10
point 1 5 m is greater than or equal to 10

.15≥10m
point 1 5 is greater than or equal to 10 m

.15m≤10
point 1 5 m is less than or equal to 10

.15≤10m

Answer 1

To represent the amount of text messages \( m \) that can be sent given that each text message costs $0.15 and you can spend no more than $10, we need to set up the inequality based on the total cost of the text messages.

The total cost for \( m \) text messages is given by \( 0.15m \). Since you can't spend more than $10, the inequality should express that the total cost must be less than or equal to $10.

Thus, the correct inequality is:

\[ 0.15m \leq 10 \]

So the appropriate response from the options provided is:

**.15m ≤ 10**

This signifies that you can send a number of text messages such that the total cost does not exceed $10.
