Question

addie saved more than which inequality represents the amount that she saved? s > 36 s ≤ 36 s ≥ 36 s < 36

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the phrase "more than"

The phrase "more than" in mathematics is represented by the inequality symbol \(>\). Let \(s\) be the amount Addie saved. If she saved more than 36 (assuming the number is 36 from the options), then the inequality should show that \(s\) is greater than 36.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option 1: \(s > 36\) means \(s\) is greater than 36, which matches "more than".
• Option 2: \(s \leq 36\) means \(s\) is less than or equal to 36, which is the opposite of "more than".
• Option 3: \(s \geq 36\) means \(s\) is greater than or equal to 36, but "more than" does not include equality, so this is not correct.
• Option 4: \(s < 36\) means \(s\) is less than 36, which is the opposite of "more than".

Answer:

\(s > 36\) (the first option, assuming the number is 36 as per the options)
