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-or-equal-to 10

p<10
p less-than 10

p>10

Answer 1

The correct way to write the inequality showing that the Earth can sustain a population of up to 10 billion people is:

p ≤ 10

This indicates that the sustainable population (p) can be 10 billion or less.
