1. 28 students travel on a field trip. They bring a van that can seat 12 students. Elena and Kiran's teacher asks parents to drive cars that seat 3 children each to transport the rest of the students.

Elena wonders if she should use the inequality
12 - 3n > 28 or 12 - 3n ≥ 28
to figure out how many cars are needed. Kiran doesn't think it matters in this case. Do you agree with Kiran? Explain your reasoning.

Elena is trying to figure out how many movies she can download to her hard drive. The hard drive is supposed to hold 500 gigabytes of data, but 58 gigabytes are already taken up by other files. Each movie is 8 gigabytes. Elena wrote the inequality
8x + 58 ≥ 500
and solved it to find the solution x ≥ 55.25.

1. Explain how you know Elena made a mistake based on her solution.
