Question

jalen is buying pears at the grocery store. he needs to buy at least 2 pounds of pears to get the sale price. let ( p ) be the weight of pears, in pounds. which inequality represents the amount of pears jalen needs to buy to get the sale price? ( p > 2 ) ( p geq 2 ) ( p < 2 ) ( p leq 2 )

Explanation:

Step1: Understand "at least"

"At least" means the weight \( p \) can be 2 pounds or more.

Step2: Translate to inequality

The symbol for "greater than or equal to" is \( \geq \), so the inequality is \( p \geq 2 \).

Answer:

\( p \geq 2 \) (the second option: \( p \geq 2 \))
