Solving One-Variable Inequalities

Question 4 • AZ-Algebra 1A (MA101)

Which scenario fits the compound inequality?

Answer
A
Jill’s best friend lives less than 2.5 miles from her house, but more than 4.5 miles from their school.
B
It is good to choose a hotel with ratings with more than 2.5 stars.
C
In terms of percent, the salinity of most sea water is between 2.5 and 4.5.
D
The grade point average of Mrs. Green’s class is less than 4.5.

Explanation

A compound inequality combines two conditions, such as a value being greater than one number and less than another. Choice C says the salinity is between 2.5 and 4.5 percent, which can be written as 2.5 < salinity < 4.5. The other choices each give just one condition or describe unrelated distances.
