Q. Frannie thinks she has raised a prize-winning giant pumpkin. It weighs 324324 pounds! In order to get the first place prize, the pumpkins of her competitors can weigh 324324 pounds at most.\newlineWrite an inequality to represent the weight, in pounds, of the other pumpkins if Frannie is to win the first place prize, ww.
  1. Identify Pumpkin Weight: Frannie's pumpkin weighs 324324 pounds. To win the first place prize, the weight of her competitors' pumpkins must be less than or equal to this weight. We can represent the weight of the competitors' pumpkins with the variable ww.
  2. Write Inequality: We write the inequality to show that the competitors' pumpkins must weigh at most 324324 pounds. This means that the weight ww of the competitors' pumpkins should be less than or equal to 324324 pounds.
  3. Represent Situation: The inequality that represents this situation is w≤324w \leq 324.
