Question

1. the maximum weight, w, that an elevator can lift which inequality represents the situation?

a ( w geq 2,200 )
b ( w > 2,200 )
c ( w leq 2,200 )
d ( w < 2,200 )
simon’s longest jumping distance is 2 inches longer than 3 feet. 3 feet = ? 1 foot = 12 inc than simon because he can

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

The problem is about finding the inequality that represents the maximum weight \( w \) an elevator can lift. "Maximum weight" means the weight \( w \) cannot exceed a certain value, say 2200 (from the options). So \( w \) should be less than or equal to 2200.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: \( w\geq2200 \) means the weight is at least 2200, which is the opposite of maximum (it would mean the weight can be 2200 or more, but we need maximum, so this is wrong).
• Option B: \( w > 2200 \) means the weight is greater than 2200, which is more than the maximum, so wrong.
• Option C: \( w\leq2200 \) means the weight is less than or equal to 2200, which fits the definition of maximum weight (the elevator can lift up to 2200, so weight can be 2200 or less).
• Option D: \( w < 2200 \) means the weight is strictly less than 2200, but the maximum could be exactly 2200, so this is too restrictive.

Answer:

C. \( w\leq2200 \)
