Mei Mei has nn nickels and dd dimes. She has no less than 15 coins altogether. Write this situation as an inequality.

Answer 1

To express the situation as an inequality, we need to consider the number of nickels (n) and the number of dimes (d) that Mei Mei has.

Since she has no less than 15 coins altogether, we can write the inequality as:

\[ n + d \geq 15 \]

This means that the sum of the number of nickels (n) and dimes (d) is at least 15.
