Read the news story below and answer the questions. To protect the crab population, lawmakers prevent crabbers from fishing crabs that are too small. State law requires that crabbers throw back any male crab that does not meet a minimum length of 5 inches. Male crabs that are a minimum of 5 inches in length can be hauled in. a. Let c represent the size of a crab that must be thrown back under the law. b. Explain how you know you chose the right inequality symbol for the inequality you wrote in part a. c. Use full sentences to explain what the graph of the inequality in part a looks

please help me just tell me war a b and c is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dos anyone get it

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

kind of but im going to need your graph and your inequality to go any further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wat do you keen

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

it says u made a graph and inequality

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did not make one cause i did not get it so if you can help me make one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (mikeyymonroe):

ill try my hardest ok?

a.) 0 < c < 5 b.) Because c represents the size of a crab that must be THROWN BACK IN, therefore, it's asking what size minimum to be put back into the water, which it states that if it does not meet a min. of 5in, it gets thrown back in. c.) The graph is going to have an opened circle because in the information above, it states that a crab needs a minimum of 5 inches to be HAULED, but the directions in 'a' says that c is for the crab that must be thrown back, so that means that 5 is NOT included in those that are tossed back into the waters. The graph also ends at 0, because there are no crabs that can be less than 0 inches. ɸ────────ɸ 0--1--2--3--4--5 Does this help or no..
