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

`r < 11`

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
