Question

Which inequality represents the situation?

The maximum weight, w, an elevator can lift is 2,200 pounds.
w ≥ 2,200
w > 2,200
w ≤ 2,200
w < 2,200

Answer 1

w ≤ 2,200

Explanation: "Maximum 2,200 pounds" means the elevator can lift at most 2,200 pounds, so the weight must be less than or equal to 2,200.
