QuestionEvery winter, Trisha teaches a wreath-making workshop. Last year, the glitter pinecones were so popular that she went through a bag of 50 of them. Trisha is making a supply list for this year's workshop and plans to bring at least as many glitter pinecones as last year.
Let pp represent the number of glitter pinecones that Trisha might bring to this year's workshop. Which inequality models the story? p>50p>50 p50p \geq 50 \square \square Graph the inequality that models the story. To draw a ray, plot an endpoint and select an arrow. Select an endpoint to change it from closed to open. Select the middle of the ray to delete it.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Trisha used 50 glitter pinecones last year.
2. Trisha plans to bring at least as many glitter pinecones as last year for this year's workshop.
3. We are trying to model the number of glitter pinecones Trisha might bring this year using an inequality.
4. We need to graph the inequality.

STEP 2

1. Understand the problem requirements.
2. Define the inequality.
3. Graph the inequality.

STEP 3

Understand the problem requirements. Trisha plans to bring at least as many glitter pinecones as last year, which means she will bring 50 or more glitter pinecones.

STEP 4

Define the inequality. Since Trisha plans to bring at least 50 glitter pinecones, the inequality representing this situation is:
p50 p \geq 50

STEP 5

Graph the inequality.
1. Draw a number line.
2. Mark the point at 50.
3. Since the inequality is p50 p \geq 50 , use a closed circle at 50 to indicate that 50 is included.
4. Draw an arrow extending to the right from the closed circle to represent all numbers greater than 50.
