Which inequality best models the situation if variable w is the weight of dogs that would be allowed?

An apartment complex allows small dogs that weigh less than 20 pounds. Show the possible weights of dogs that would be allowed.

A.
w < 20 and w must be a positive number.

B.
w < 20 and w may be a negative number.

C.
w > 20 and w must be a positive number.

D.
w > 20 and w may be a negative number.

Answer 1

since it is "less than," the inequality sign will be "<"

since a dog has to weigh something, and its weight cannot be negative, "w" will have to be a positive number

the correct answer is A
