Answer 1

Let's break down the information given in Question 1 to derive the correct inequality.

1. Let \( a \) represent the number of playlists on Ashley's app.
2. The number of playlists on Liam’s app is 4 times Ashley’s, which is \( 4a \).
3. The total number of playlists on both apps combined is at least 45, which gives us the inequality: \[ a + 4a \geq 45 \] Simplifying this: \[ 5a \geq 45 \]

So, the correct inequality to determine the number of playlists in Ashley's app is: 5a ≥ 45

Now, for Question 2: If Ashley's app has at least 9 playlists, that means \( a \geq 9 \).

If you are looking for the appropriate phrase to fill in the blank, it would be: Ashley’s app has at least 9 playlists.
