Question
Write an inequality to represent the following:
a is at most 6.
- a ≤ 6
- a ≥ 6
- a < 6
- a > 6
Hint:
We are given a statement. We have to write the expression of inequality for the given statement. We have to see the limits given for the required value.
The correct answer is: a ≤ 6
The given statement is as follows:
a is at most 6.
The given variable is a.
a is at most 6 means, the maximum value it can have is 6. It is the higher limit of it. It can have any lower value that that.
So, the variable a can be less than or equal to 6.
The sign for less than or equal to 6 is “ ≤ 6”
The mathematical representation of the inequality is as follows:
a ≤ 6
This is the given inequality.
For such questions, we have to be careful about the limits.
