Question

8 fill in the blank 10 points
when playing the card game cribbage, the highest possible score for a single hand is 29 points. use the dropdown below to complete an inequality representing the possible number of points, $p$, for a single hand in cribbage.
$p$ $leq$ 29

9 numeric 10 points
simone and jax are playing blackjack. the winner is the person who has a total card value closest to 21 without going over. players can only receive whole number scores.
simones total card value is 15. give an example of a total card value that jax could have that would allow him to win. type the number only!
answer

10 true or false 10 points
true or false:
if an inequality symbol includes a line underneath the symbol, that means a solution could be exactly equal to the given number.
for example, in the inequality $x \leq 25$, $x$ could equal exactly 25.
$circ$ true
$circ$ false

Explanation:

Step1: Define Cribbage point inequality

The maximum possible points $p$ is 29, so $p$ can be at most 29.
$p \leq 29$

Step2: Identify winning blackjack score

Jax needs a whole number score closer to 21 (not over) than 15. A valid score is 20 (or 21, 19, 18, 17, 16; 21 is the closest perfect score).
$21$ (or 16,17,18,19,20)

Step3: Evaluate inequality symbol rule

A line under an inequality means equality is allowed, matching the example.
$\text{True}$

Answer:

1. $p \leq 29$
2. 21 (or 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 are also valid)
3. True
