Question

On a fishing trip, you catch two fish. The weight of the first fish is shown. The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pound more than the first fish. Write an inequality that represents the possible weights W (in pounds) of the second fish.

Inequality:​

Answer 1

W ≥ 1.2 + 0.5

Explanation:

Let

Weight of the first fish = 1.2 lb

The second fish weighs at least 0.5 pound more than the first fish.

Weight of second fish, 1.2 lb + 0.5 pounds

Weight of the second fish = W

At least means ≥

Therefore,

Possible weight of the second fish is

W ≥ 1.2 + 0.5
