Exploring Inequalities: Create Tables and Analyze Data

1. A store sells pencils for $0.50 each. Create a table showing the total cost for buying 1 to 5 pencils. Write an inequality to represent the total cost being less than $3.

• Total cost for 1 to 5 pencils: 1 pencil = $0.50, 2 pencils = $1.00, 3 pencils = $1.50, 4 pencils = $2.00, 5 pencils = $2.50. Inequality: 0.50x < 3.

• Total cost for 1 to 5 pencils: 1 pencil = $0.30, 2 pencils = $0.60, 3 pencils = $0.90, 4 pencils = $1.20, 5 pencils = $1.50. Inequality: 0.30x < 3.

• Total cost for 1 to 5 pencils: 1 pencil = $0.75, 2 pencils = $1.50, 3 pencils = $2.25, 4 pencils = $3.00, 5 pencils = $3.75. Inequality: 0.75x < 3.

5. A car can travel 30 miles on a gallon of gas. Create a table showing the distance traveled for 1 to 4 gallons. Write an inequality to show that the distance should be less than 100 miles.

• 1 gallon = 20 miles

• Distance traveled for 1 to 4 gallons: 1 gallon = 30 miles, 2 gallons = 60 miles, 3 gallons = 90 miles, 4 gallons = 120 miles. Inequality: 30g < 100.

• 2 gallons = 80 miles

• 4 gallons = 100 miles
