Question

in a restricted parking zone, vehicles can park for no more than 2 hours. which inequality represents this time limit?

a. $t \geq 2$

b. $t \leq 2$

c. $t > 2$

d. $t < 2$

for a person to be classified as underweight, their body mass index (bmi) must be below 18.5. what is the appropriate inequality?

a. $\text{bmi} \geq 18.5$

b. $\text{bmi} \leq 18.5$

c. $\text{bmi} > 18.5$

d. $\text{bmi} < 18.5$

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze first problem

"no more than 2 hours" means time \( t \) is ≤ 2. So choose b.

Step2: Analyze second problem

"below 18.5" means BMI is < 18.5. So choose d.

Answer:

b. \( t \leq 2 \)
d. \( \text{BMI} < 18.5 \)
