Q. Ezra is making a tray of macaroni and cheese for dinner. He melts 1818 ounces of cheddar cheese in a pot. He decides to add cream cheese to make it really creamy. Ezra plans to add less cream cheese than cheddar cheese. \newlineWrite an inequality to represent the amount of cream cheese, in ounces, that Ezra might add, cc.
  1. Identify Cheese Amounts: Ezra has 1818 ounces of cheddar cheese and wants to add less cream cheese than that. To represent this situation with an inequality, we let cc be the number of ounces of cream cheese Ezra adds. Since he wants to add less cream cheese than cheddar cheese, the inequality will show that cc is less than 1818.
  2. Set Up Inequality: Write the inequality using cc to represent the amount of cream cheese. Since Ezra plans to add less cream cheese than cheddar cheese, the inequality will be c < 18.
