Lesson 10: Interpreting Inequalities | Unit 7: Rational Numbers

There is a closed carton of eggs in Mai's refrigerator. The carton contains $$e$$ eggs, and it can hold 12 eggs. What does the inequality $$e < 12$$ mean in this context?

There is a closed carton of eggs in Mai's refrigerator. The carton contains $$e$$ eggs, and it can hold 12 eggs. What does the inequality $$e > 0$$ mean in this context?

There is a closed carton of eggs in Mai's refrigerator. The carton contains $$e$$ eggs, and it can hold 12 eggs. What are some possible values of $$e$$ that will make both $$e < 12$$ and $$e > 0$$ true?

Here is a diagram of an unbalanced hanger. Which inequality represents the relationship of the weights? Use $$s$$ to represent the weight of the square in grams and $$c$$ to represent the weight of the circle in grams.

One red circle weighs 12 grams. Which inequality represents the weight of one blue square?

Tyler collected more than 10 glass bottles to be recycled. Elena collected more glass bottles than Tyler did. Mai collected more glass bottles than Elena did. Let's say $$t$$ represents the number of glass bottles that Tyler collected, $$e$$ represents the number of glass bottles that Elena collected, and $$m$$ represents the number of glass bottles that Mai collected. Select **all** statements that are true: * $$t < m$$ * $$m > 10$$ * $$e > 10$$ * $$t > 10$$ * $$e > m$$ * $$t < e$$

Tyler wants to buy some cherries at the farmer’s market. He has $ $$10$$ , and cherries cost $ $$4$$ per pound.

If $$c$$ is the number of pounds of cherries that Tyler can buy, which of the following inequalities describes $$c$$ ?
