Question

Each of 4 family members uses 175 minutes or fewer of their combined

family cell phone plan. At the end of the month, the family does not
have any remaining cell phone minutes. Solve the inequality
X ÷ 4 ≤ 175 to find how many cell phone minutes the family
might share each month.

Answer 1

Answer: To solve the inequality X ÷ 4 ≤ 175, we need to isolate X on one side of the inequality symbol.

First, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 4 to eliminate the division:

X ≤ 4 × 175

Simplifying, we get:

X ≤ 700

Therefore, the family might share up to 700 cell phone minutes each month, since each family member uses 175 minutes or fewer and there are 4 family members.
