Question

A kite can be flown in wind speeds no less than 7 miles per hour and no more than 16 miles per hour. Write an inequality for the wind speed at which the kite can fly. Option 1: 7 ≤ x ≤ 16 Option 2: x < 7 or x > 16 Option 3: 7 > x > 16 Option 4: x ≥ 7 and x ≤ 16

Answer 1

The correct inequality for the wind speed at which the kite can fly, given the conditions that it must be no less than 7 miles per hour and no more than 16 miles per hour, is 7 ≤ x ≤ 16.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires writing an inequality for the wind speed at which the kite can fly. The wind speed must be no less than 7 miles per hour and no more than 16 miles per hour. This can be expressed as an inequality where x represents the wind speed. Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1: 7 ≤ x ≤ 16, which means the wind speed must be greater than or equal to 7 miles per hour and less than or equal to 16 miles per hour. Options 2, 3, and 4 do not accurately reflect the given conditions for the wind speed ranges.

Answer 2

The inequality for the wind speed at which the kite can fly is represented by Option 1:
`7\leq x \leq 167≤x≤16`

The correct inequality for the wind speed at which the kite can fly is represented by Option 1:
`7\leq x \leq 167≤x≤16`. This inequality indicates that the wind speed (xx) must be greater than or equal to 7 miles per hour and less than or equal to 16 miles per hour for the kite to be flown successfully.
