Question

the vet says that georges cat milo has to lose weight, so george is going to portion out milos meals and stop giving milo table scraps. if milo loses 0.25 pound every week, write an inequality to determine how many weeks it will take milo to drop below 18 pounds. drag the number or symbol into each box to correctly complete the inequality. show hints

Explanation:

Step1: Define Variables and Loss

Milo's initial weight is 22 lb, loses 0.25 lb/week. After \( w \) weeks, weight lost is \( 0.25w \). Remaining weight: \( 22 - 0.25w \).

Step2: Set Up Inequality

We want remaining weight < 18 lb. So \( 22 - 0.25w < 18 \).

Answer:

The inequality is \( 22 - 0.25w < 18 \) (drag 22, \( - \), 0.25, \( w \), \( < \), 18 into boxes as \( 22 - 0.25w < 18 \)).
