Question 18 • Grade 7 Mathematics

Which inequality represents the sentence given? Four and nine tenths less than the product of a number and six is no more than eighteen and one-eighth.

Answer
A
4 and 9 tenths is less than 6 x plus 18 and 1 eighth
B
4 and 9 tenths minus 6 x is less than or equal to 18 and 1 eighth
C
6 x minus 4 and 9 tenths is less than or equal to 18 and 1 eighth
D
6 x minus 4 and 9 tenths is less than 18 and 1 eighth

Explanation

The product of a number and six is 6x. “Four and nine tenths less than” that product means subtract 4.9 from 6x, giving 6x − 4.9. “No more than” means less than or equal to, so the inequality is 6x − 4.9 ≤ 18⅛. This is choice C.
