Q:

Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2.4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1

Accepted Solution

A:
Question says that "Last week, Jason ran 26.1 miles. He wants to run further this week. He plans to run 2.4 miles to the park, four times around the park, and 2.4 miles back from the park. To represent that inequality, he wrote: 2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1"We see a blank space before 26.1.So we need to fill the suitable inequality symbol from <, >, ≀ and β‰₯.In given expression "2.4 + 4p + 2.4 ___ 26.1", left side part "2.4 + 4p + 2.4", represents the total length of the path that Jason wants to cover this week.He has decided to run more than 26.1 miles so that means the sum "2.4 + 4p + 2.4" must be greater than 26.1 miles.Hence we will use > symbol so that left side becomes greater than the right side part.
So the final answer will be :2.4 + 4p + 2.4 > 26.1
