The truck can hold more than 22 boxes.

The truck can hold more than 23 boxes.

The truck can hold up to 22 boxes.

The truck can hold up to 23 boxes.

Answer 1

I think they want you to use the number of boxes as whole numbers, they are always full, counting numbers...

so although b < 22.6 , you can take off the decimal

Answer 2

true...because .6 does not make up a whole box

Answer 3

So which is it? lol

Answer 4

b can be 0 to 22

Answer 5

well....if b < 22.6......that means it can hold up to 22 boxes, but no more

Answer 6
