The sum of 4.5 and one-third a number is equal to at most 38.9. What are all the possible values of the number? How would you write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem? (1 point)

Answer 1

Let's call the number we're trying to find "x".

The sum of 4.5 and one-third of x is given by: 4.5 + (1/3)x.

According to the problem, this sum is equal to at most 38.9. "At most" means that the value must be less than or equal to 38.9.

So, we can write the inequality as follows:

4.5 + (1/3)x ≤ 38.9

Answer 2

1/3n+4.5≤38.9,Where N is equal to the number

Answer 3

Correct! The inequality is:
1/3n + 4.5 ≤ 38.9, where n represents the number we are trying to find.
