Answer 1

Given : Two thirds of the employees at an office stated that they preferred soft cookies over crispy cookies.  

More than 36 employees stated their preference.

Ren was asked to write, solve, and graph an inequality to find the number of employees working at the office

Step 1 :     2x/3   <   36

Step 2  :     x   <   54

Step 3  :     A number line going from 51 to 57. An open circle is at 54. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded

To Find : Where, if any, did Ren first make a mistake in his work?

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

No mistake found

Solution:

Step 1 :     2x/3   <   36

Step 2  :     x   <   54

Step 3  :     A number line going from 51 to 57. An open circle is at 54. Everything to the left of the circle is shaded

Mistake is in 1st step it self which is cascaded in further steps

Correct would be 2x/3   > 36  as more than 36 employees stated their preference  hence 2x/3 must be greater than 36

Ren first make a mistake in his work at step 1
