Question

Cate solved an inequality to find c, the possible number of cats that a shelter can house. She found that c < 28. Which statement best describes a possible solution to Cate’s problem?

B)The shelter can house –8 cats because –8 < 28.
C)The shelter can house 17 cats because 17 < 28.
D)The shelter can house 28 cats because 28 < 28.
