To write an inequality representing the problem, we can use option 2 from the choices provided.
The inequality would be: \( \frac{1}{3}n + 4.5 \leq 38.9 \)
To solve the inequality:
\( \frac{1}{3}n \leq 34.4 \)
Multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
\( n \leq 103.2 \)
Therefore, the possible values of the number \( n \) are all real numbers less than or equal to 103.2.
The sum of 4.5 and one-third of the 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. 4.5 + 1/3 + n ≤ 38.9
2. 1/3n + 4.5 ≤ 38.9
3. 1/3n + 4.5 ≥ 38.9
4. 1/3n + 4.5 =38.9
