Answer 1

To find the maximum number of snacks \( s \) that Emma can buy, we know that each snack costs $3 and she has a maximum of $18 to spend. We can set up the inequality based on this information:

\[
3s \leq 18
\]

This means that the total cost of the snacks (which is \( 3 \times s \)) must be less than or equal to $18.

So, the correct response is:

**3s ≤ 18**
