Answer 1

To find the maximum number of snacks $s$ that Emma can buy, we know that each snack costs $3 and she has a maximum of $18 to spend. We can set up the inequality based on this information:

$$3s\le 18$$

This means that the total cost of the snacks (which is $3\times s$) must be less than or equal to $18.

So, the correct response is:

3s ≤ 18
