Solving One-Step Inequality Word Problems with Tape Diagrams

The video tutorial by Instructor Boots covers solving inequality word problems using tape diagrams. It includes two examples: one about the amount of vibranium needed for pencils and another about the combined weight of Black Panther and Hulk. The instructor explains how to set up and solve these problems using inequalities and tape diagrams, emphasizing the importance of understanding terms like 'at least' and 'at most'. The video concludes with information on additional resources and contact details.

What is the main focus of the video tutorial?

• Understanding probability

• Solving inequality word problems with tape diagrams

• Graphing quadratic functions

• Solving linear equations

In Example 1, what is the minimum amount of vibranium needed to make a pencil?

• 234 ounces

• 87 ounces

• 147 ounces

• 200 ounces

What variable is used to represent the additional amount of vibranium needed in Example 1?

• X

• V

• M

• N

What inequality represents the condition for the amount of vibranium needed in Example 1?

• 87 + M ≥ 234

• 87 + M > 234

• 87 + M < 234

• 87 + M ≤ 234

What is the final inequality solution for the amount of vibranium needed in Example 1?

• M > 147

• M ≤ 147

• M ≥ 147

• M < 147

In Example 2, what is the combined maximum weight of the Black Panther and the Hulk?

• 195 pounds

• 800 pounds

• 870 pounds

• 675 pounds

What variable is used to represent the weight of the Black Panther in Example 2?

• B

• P

• H

• W

What inequality represents the condition for the combined weight in Example 2?

• 675 + B ≥ 870

• 675 + B ≤ 870

• 675 + B > 870

• 675 + B < 870

What is the final inequality solution for the weight of the Black Panther in Example 2?

• B < 195

• B > 195

• B ≥ 195

• B ≤ 195

What is the purpose of using tape diagrams in solving these problems?

• To visualize the problem and help form the inequality

• To check the final answer

• To compare different solutions

• To simplify the arithmetic
