Question

Which inequality represents the sentence below?

Four and nine tenths less than the product of a number and six is no more than eighteen and one-eighth.
4 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFraction minus 6 x less-than-or-equal-to 18 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction
6 x minus 4 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFraction less-than-or-equal-to 18 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction
4 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFraction less-than 6 x + 18 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction
6 x minus 4 and StartFraction 9 over 10 EndFraction less-than 18 and StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction

Answer 1

"Four and nine tenths less than the product of a number and six" = 6x − 4 9/10.
"No more than" = ≤.

So the correct inequality is: 6x − 4 9/10 ≤ 18 1/8 (option 2).
