Jim has $8 to spend on pizza. The slice is $4 and each topping is $0.50. Create an inequality to represent the number of toppings Jim can get if he only buys one slice of pizza.

• 4x + 0.50 ≥ 8

• 0.50x + 4 < 8

• 0.50x +4 ≤ 8

• 4x +0.50 ≤ 8

A carafe at a banquet holds about 12 cups of coffee. When the carafe has 1 cup or less of coffee left, the waiter dumps the coffee out and pours in a fresh pot. Each coffee mug at the banquet holds 6 ounces of coffee. Assuming each person fills his or her mug, what inequality represents the number of people who can fill their mugs before the carafe needs to be refilled? (Hint: 1 cup = 8 ounces)

• 12 – 0.75x ≤ 1

• 12 – x ≤ 1

• 12 – 0.75x ≥ 1

• 12 – x ≥ 1
