Let x represent the number of weeks Jake gives away marbles.
The number of marbles he has left after x weeks can be represented by the inequality 1,000 - 100x ≥ 500.
Simplifying the inequality, we have:
-100x ≥ -500
Dividing both sides by -100, we get:
x ≤ 5
Therefore, Jake can continue giving away marbles for a maximum of 5 weeks.
Jake begins the summer with 1,000 marbles in his collection. He aims to have a minimum of 500 marbles left by the end of the summer. Each week, he gives away 100 marbles to friends.
