Question

cody and his friend scott made a banner to carry during the memorial day parade. they need to buy a pole from which to hang their 54 - inch - long banner. the pole needs to be longer than the banner so that they can each hold one end. let p represent how long, in inches, the pole might be. which inequality models the story? p > 54 p ≥ 54 p < 54 p ≤ 54 graph the inequality that models the story. to draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the condition

The pole needs to be longer than the 54 - inch - long banner.

Step2: Write the inequality

If $p$ is the length of the pole, then $p>54$.

Answer:

The inequality is $p > 54$. To graph it, plot an open - circle at 54 on the number line and draw a ray to the right.
