Full solution

Q. Ping's Ice Cream Palace offers a special sundae that contains over 22 kilograms of ice cream plus any number of toppings.\newlineWrite an inequality that describes k k , the weight of the special sundae in kilograms.
  1. Define kk as weight: Let kk represent the weight of the special sundae in kilograms. According to the problem, the special sundae contains over 22 kilograms of ice cream. This means that the weight of the sundae must be greater than 22 kilograms.
  2. Use inequality symbol: To express this mathematically, we use the inequality symbol '>'. The inequality that describes kk is therefore k > 2.
  3. Interpret the inequality: This inequality shows that the weight of the sundae, kk, must be any number that is greater than 22. It does not include 22 itself, because the problem specifies "over 22 kilograms," not "22 kilograms or more."
