Abdul buys candy that costs 7 per pound. He will spend at most 70 on candy. What are the possible numbers of pounds he will buy?

Answer 1

Let's assume Abdul buys x pounds of candy.
The cost of x pounds of candy at 7 dollars per pound is 7x.
According to the information given, Abdul will spend at most 70 dollars.
Therefore, we can write the inequality 7x ≤ 70.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 7, we get x ≤ 10.
So, the possible numbers of pounds Abdul will buy are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Answer: \boxed{10}.
