Question
Write an inequality to represent the following:
The length of a fish must be at least 10 inches to keep it.
- f < 10
- f = 10
- f > 10
- f ≥ 10
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: f ≥ 10
The given statement is as follows:
The length of the fish must be at least 10 inches to keep it.
Let the length of the fish be represented using the variable “f”.
Length of the fish must be at least 10 inches means, this is the minimum value it can have.
So, the length of the fish will be greater than or equal to the given value.
The sign for greater than or equal to 10 inches is “ ≥ 10”
The mathematical representation of the inequality is as follows:
f ≥ 10.
This is the given inequality.
For such questions, we have to be careful about the limits.
