Hippos can weigh up to 5,300 pounds. A baby hippo's current weight is 2,200 pounds. How much weight can he gain? Write and solve an inequality. Let w represent the weight the baby hippo can gain.

Respuesta :

m ≤ 3100

1) Since Hippos can weigh up to 5,300 pounds then we can write

≤ 5300

A Baby hippo's = 2,200

2) So we can write

2200 + m ≤ 5300 Subtract 2200

m ≤ 5300 -2200

m ≤ 3100

3) So the baby hippo can gain up to 3100 pounds, under these conditions.
