Do you know how to start?

anonymous · Answer

not really. Do i multiply all the number until one fits or something?

anonymous · Answer

Well you have to pick an inequality that fits the scenario so you need to start stating what you know. Like what his calorie intake needs to be and if he needs to exceed that or be smaller than that.

Its B

anonymous · Answer

I don't know how you would show work for that.  It can't be either with a minus sign because when you eat you gain calories not lose them.  It also can't be either inequality that is >= 900 because he is supposed to have less.
