Mikey's family is taking a road trip. Their car can travel no more than 260 miles without needing to refill the gas tank. They have traveled 112 miles since they last filled the gas tank.


Mikey knows that the inequality representing this situation is 112 + x ≤ 260.


Select from the drop-down menu to correctly interpret the solution of this inequality.

Mikey's family can drive_____more miles before they need to refill the gas tank.

A. at most 148
B. at least 148
C. more than 372
D. more than 372

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step by step:

you subtract 112 from 260 to isolate the variable. Then you get x is less than or equal to 148. Which means that the most miles that can be traveled is 148 miles before filling up.

Answer 2

The answer is;  A) at most 148.
