Question

1. the weight limit for a bridge is 10,000 pounds. which inequality describes this scenario?

a. $w > 10000$
b. $w \leq 10000$
c. $w < 10000$
d. $w \geq 10000$

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable

Let $w$ = weight on bridge.

Step2: Interpret weight limit

Weight cannot exceed 10,000, so $w$ is less than or equal to 10,000.

Step3: Match to inequality

This corresponds to $w \leq 10000$.

Answer:

b. $w \leq 10000$
