Question

Responses

f+250<1,000
f plus 250 less-than-to 1,000

f+250>1,000
f plus 250 greater than 1,000

f−250≤1,000
f minus 250 less-than-or-equal-to 1,000

f−250>1,000

Answer 1

To determine the number of additional followers \( f \) that LeShawn needs to have more than 1,000 followers starting from his current 250, we can set up the inequality as follows:

He wants his total followers (current followers plus additional followers) to be greater than 1,000. This can be expressed mathematically as:

\[ 250 + f > 1,000 \]

To rewrite this, we can simply isolate \( f \):

\[ f > 1,000 - 250 \] \[ f > 750 \]

So the correct inequality that shows the number of additional followers \( f \) that LeShawn needs is:

\[ f + 250 > 1,000 \]

Therefore, the correct response is:

f + 250 > 1,000
