Mr. Brown is splitting his students into groups to give presentations about novels they read. He wants each group to have 4 students. There are fewer than 24 students in class today, so Mr. Brown can't make as many full groups as he had planned. Let x represent how many full groups Mr. Brown can make. Which inequality describes the problem? Choices: (A)4x > 24 (B)4x < 24 Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. Mr. Brown can make fewer than ____ full groups.

Define Number of Groups: Let x be the number of full groups Mr. Brown can make, each group has 4 students. So, the total number of students in full groups is represented by 4x. Since there are fewer than 24 students, the inequality that fits is 4x < 24. Solve the Inequality: To find how many full groups Mr. Brown can make, solve the inequality 4x < 24. Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x: 4x / 4 < 24 / 4, x < 6.

Full solution

Q. Mr. Brown is splitting his students into groups to give presentations about novels they read. He wants each group to have

4

students. There are fewer than

24

students in class today, so Mr. Brown can't make as many full groups as he had planned.

\newline

Let

x

represent how many full groups Mr. Brown can make. Which inequality describes the problem?

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

4x > 24

\newline

(B)

4x < 24

\newline

Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.

\newline

Mr. Brown can make fewer than ____ full groups.

Define Number of Groups: Let $x$ be the number of full groups Mr. Brown can make, each group has $4$ students. So, the total number of students in full groups is represented by $4x$ . Since there are fewer than $24$ students, the inequality that fits is 4x < 24.
Solve the Inequality: To find how many full groups Mr. Brown can make, solve the inequality 4x < 24. Divide both sides by $4$ to isolate $x$ : $\newline$ \frac{4x}{4} < \frac{24}{4}, $\newline$ x < 6.
