? Include the appropriate inequality symbol in your response.

Note: you will find the option to add a <

, ≤
, or ≥
symbol in the Comparison (<)
keyboard.

≤40

Answer 1

The inequality is asking for what numbers are less than or equal to 8 when you multiply them by 5. So, if you divide both sides by 5, you get p≤40 because 5 times 8 is 40. So, p has to be less than or equal to 40 to make the inequality statement true.
