Madison represented the sentence “The product of 3 and the difference of Negative 4 and the quotient of a number and Negative 2 is at most 5” by using the inequality 3 (Negative 4 minus StartFraction n over negative 2 EndFraction) less-than 5.

Which best describes Madison’s error?
“The difference of –4 and the quotient of a number and –2” should be written as StartFraction negative 4 minus n over negative 2 EndFraction.
“The product of 3 and the difference of –4 and the quotient of a number and –2” should be written as 3 (negative 4) minus (StartFraction n over negative 2 EndFraction).
The less than symbol should be replaced with the less than or equal to symbol.
The less than symbol should be replaced with the greater than symbol.

Answer:

"At most" means "less than or equal to". Madison needs to use ≤ instead of <.
