Question

Two puppies, Ruth and Scoonsie, are playing together. Scoonsie weighs 111111 kilograms, and Ruth is lighter than Scoonsie.
Write an inequality that describes r, Ruth's weight in kilograms.

Answer 1

Answer:

$r < 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Ruth with r and Scoonsie with s

$s = 11kg$

Required

Represent Ruth's weight as an inequality

From the question, Ruth weighs lesser than Scoonsie. This is represented as:

$Ruth < Scoonsie$

For proper representation, it is:

$r < s$

Substitute 11 for s

$r < 11$

The above inequality represents Ruth's weight
