Practice Question
A bag of dog food weighs 40 pounds. The amount of food in the bag is more than 3 times the amount needed to feed a dog for one week. Which inequality can be used to determine the possible values for p, the pounds of food needed to feed the dog for one week?
Answer Choices
- A: p < 3(40)
- B: 3p < 40
- C: p > 3(40)
- D: 3p > 40
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Amount > 3p, and amount = 40. Thus, 3p < 40 (error in options; correct form is 3p > 40 for €˜more than'). Thus, the correct answer is 3p > 40.
