Write, test, and graph inequalities for meet results.

Translate the Board Rules

Use the rule stated in each problem. A strict limit does not include the cutoff itself.

The results board highlights sprint times under 14.2 seconds. Let x represent a sprint time in seconds. Which inequality represents the highlighted times?

A. x = 14.2
B. x < 14.2
C. x < 14
D. x > 14.2

Long jumps of more than 4.6 meters receive a star on the board. Let x represent a jump distance in meters. Which inequality represents starred jumps?

A. x < 4.6
B. x > 4
C. x > 4.6
D. x = 4.6

For a practice display, the board flags signed wind readings below −1.5 meters per second. Let x represent the signed wind reading. Which inequality represents flagged readings?
