1 answer

To solve the inequality \( \frac{1}{3}n + 4.6 \leq 39.1 \), we first isolate \( n \).

  1. Subtract \( 4.6 \) from both sides:

    \[ \frac{1}{3}n \leq 39.1 - 4.6 \]

    \[ \frac{1}{3}n \leq 34.5 \]

  2. Next, multiply both sides by \( 3 \) to eliminate the fraction:

    \[ n \leq 34.5 \times 3 \]

    \[ n \leq 103.5 \]

So the solution to the inequality is:

\[ n \leq 103.5 \]

Among the provided responses, the correct one is:

n ≤ 103.5
n less than or equal to 103.5
