Question

diego is buying pet food for his hamster. the pet food costs less than $12. draw a number line to represent $p < 12$.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the number 12 on the number line.

On the given number line, the mark labeled 12 is identified.

Step2: Represent the inequality \(p < 12\).

Since \(p\) is less than 12 (not equal to 12), we use an open - circle at 12. Then, we shade the part of the number line to the left of 12 (because values less than 12 are in that direction).

Answer:

Draw an open - circle at 12 on the number line and shade the line to the left of 12.
