Question
Translate the following phrase into inequality: You and your friends ate more than 8 slices of pizza at the party.
- x > 8
- x < 8
- x ≤ 8
- x ≥ 8
Hint:
A mathematical representation of relationship between 2 or more variables or a variable and a constant wherein the relationship is not equal. i.e. greater than/ greater than or equal to/ less than/ less than or equal to. is known as inequality.
The correct answer is: x > 8
GIVEN-
Number of slices of pizza had is more than 8.
TO FIND-
Inequality that represents the given situation.
SOLUTION-
Let the number of slices consumed be x.
From the given information, we get-
Number of slices of pizza consumed > 8
∴ x > 8
Final Answer:-
Option 'd' i.e. 'x > 8' is the correct answer to the given question.
