Question

A weight lifter can lift not more than 350 pounds. Write an inequality for this statement if the weight lifted is represented as $w$.

• A. $w>350$ pounds
• B. $w\ge 350$ pounds
• C. $w<350$ pounds
• D. $w\le 350$ pounds

Answer 1

The correct option is D $w\le 350$ pounds

Given, $w$ represents the weight which he can lift.

$w$ is not more than $\$350$ pounds which means the maximum value of the number $w$ is $350$.

Hence, $w$ can have any value which is less than or equal to $350$ pounds.

Therefore, $w\le 350$ pounds
