Terrence’s car contains 8 gallons of fuel. He plans to drive the car m miles using the fuel currently in the car. If the car can drive 20 miles per gallon of fuel, which inequality gives the possible values of m?

Respuesta :

The correct option is A. m ≤ (8)(20)

The inequality which gives the possible values of 'm' is m ≤ (8)(20).

What is inequality?

A declaration of an order relationship between two numbers or algebraic expressions, such as greater than, greater than or equal to, less than, or less than or equal to.

An inequality is a relation that compares two numbers or other mathematical expressions in an unequal way. The majority of the time, size comparisons between two numbers on the number line are made.

According to the question;

Terrence's car contains 8 gallons of fuel.

Terrence can drive the car 'm' miles using the fuel currently in the car.

The car can drive 20 miles per gallon of fuel,(which is maximum fuel capacity of the car to drive).

Then,

The total miles 'm' covered by the car is 8×20 which is maximum capacity of the car to travel.

Thus, total miles covered by the car are less than the maximum value which is given by the inequality-

m ≤ (8)(20)

Therefore, the inequality which gives the possible values of 'm' is m ≤ (8)(20).
