Jake begins the summer with 1,000 marbles in his collection. He aims to have a minimum of 500 marbles left by the end of
the summer. Each week, he gives away 100 marbles to friends.
Which inequality should be used to determine the number of weeks (w) Jake can continue giving away marbles?
(1 point)
1000 − 100w ≥ 500
1000 − 100w > 500
1000 − 100w < 500
1000 − 100w ≤ 500
B) (1 point)
Jake can give away marbles for 5 weeks responds
at least
at most
less than
greater than
exactly

Answer 1

A) 1000 − 100w ≥ 500

B) at most
Explanation: 1000 − 100w ≥ 500 ⇒ −100w ≥ −500 ⇒ w ≤ 5, so he can give marbles for at most 5 weeks.
