Question

Suppose Peter runs p miles a day and Blake runs b miles a day. If Peter ran x days in the month of May and Blake ran y days in the month of May, what is the best interpretation of the following inequality?

px > by

The total number of miles Blake ran in the month of May is greater than the total number of miles Peter ran in the month of May.

The number of miles Peter runs a day is greater than the number of miles Blake runs a day.

The total number of miles Peter ran in the month of May is greater than the total number of miles Blake ran in the month of May.

The number of days Blake ran in the month of May is less than the number of days Peter ran in the month of May.

Answer 1

Second one...

Answer 2

might not b correct

Answer 3

p = peter
x = how many days peter ran
b = blake
y = how many days blake ran
so px > by
means peter ran more than blake did, overall in the month of may
if it was just p > b then it would just be peter ran more than blake
