Question

Write an inequality for this situation,

No more than 6 books are in your bag. is it a ≤ or a ≥, because of the no more? I"M SO CONFUSED

Answer 1

It is ≥ because it can be equal to 6 but not more than 6. I’m sorry that might not make the most sense but it’s kinda hard to explain. I hope that makes some sense!!

Answer 2

Answer:

x ≤ 6

Explanation:

For clarification, ≤ means "less than or equal to"

So... x is less than or equal to 6.

x is the books in your bag. The 6 is there because there are 6 or fewer books in your bag.

That means the number of books in your bag would be 6 or less.

Therefore,  x ≤ 6 would be the right inequality for this situation.
