At a school fair, a person can go on up to 12 rides.

Question

Read the problem. Which description best represents the number of rides a person can go on?

Any value less than 12

Any value less than or equal to 12

Any value greater than or equal to 12

Any value greater than 12
Excellent!
Choose the inequality statement that best represents this situation. Let r represent the number of rides a person could go on.
Any value less than or equal to 12

r≤12

r>12

r<12

r≥12

Yes

No

Answer 1

No, the number of rides cannot be 17. According to the inequality \( r \leq 12 \), the maximum number of rides a person can go on is 12, which means any value greater than 12, including 17, is not allowed.
