Question

to qualify for an award, a student volunteers no less than 5 hours each week at the local hospital. write an inequality that represent
x≥5
x≤5
x<5
x>5

Explanation:

Step1: Define the variable

Let \( x \) represent the number of hours a student volunteers each week.

Step2: Interpret the condition

The problem states that the student volunteers "no less than 5 hours each week". "No less than" means the number of hours \( x \) is greater than or equal to 5. So the inequality is \( x \geq 5 \).

Answer:

\( x \geq 5 \) (corresponding to the first option, e.g., if the first option is labeled as A, then A. \( x \geq 5 \))
