Question

1. if the maximum capacity of a bus is 40 passengers and the inequality p ≤ 40 represents this limit, what happens if there are 41 passengers? a. the bus can take one more passenger. b. the bus is over capacity. c. the bus is not over capacity. d. none of the answers.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the inequality

The inequality $p\leq40$ means the number of passengers $p$ must be 40 or less.

Step2: Compare 41 with the limit

Since $41>40$, it exceeds the maximum - capacity limit.

Answer:

B. The bus is over capacity.
