Q. Ha-yoon can dive to a depth of 7 meters. Ji-woo cannot dive as deep as Ha-yoon.Write an inequality that describes j, the depths Ji-woo can dive to in meters.□
Define Depth Inequality: Let's denote the depth Ji-woo can dive to as j in meters. Since Ji-woo cannot dive as deep as Ha-yoon, who can dive to a depth of 7 meters, the inequality must show that Ji-woo's depth is less than Ha-yoon's depth.
Write Inequality: We can write the inequality as j < 7. This means that the depth Ji-woo can dive to is less than 7 meters.
Check Validity: We should check if the inequality makes sense in the context of the problem. Since Ji-woo cannot dive as deep as Ha-yoon, and Ha-yoon's maximum depth is 7 meters, it is correct to say that Ji-woo's maximum depth is less than 7 meters.
