Jeanette uses more yarn to knit a poncho than she uses to knit a scarf. Write an inequality to represent the amount of yarn Jeanette uses to knit a poncho (p), and explain how to represent the inequality on a number line.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]p > s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]p \to poncho[/tex]

[tex]s \to scarf[/tex]

Required

The inequality

From the question, we understand that;

the number of p used is more than the number of s

more than means greater than.

So, the inequality is:

[tex]p > s[/tex]

To represent this on a number line.

First, we identify the position of s (i.e. scarf)

[tex]p > s[/tex] implies that p is any point to the right of s
