Question

Ms. Pettini's history class has too many students in it. If the class were split

into equal parts to form 3 new classes, each class would have no more than
14 students in it.
If s= the number of students in Ms. Pettini's history class, which
mathematical sentence expresses the information above?

Answer 1

s/3 <= 14

Explanation:

The number of students is divided by three because of the three clauses, hence s/3. Each new class can have 14 or less students. Therefore, s/3 <= 14.
