Use an Inequality to Solve a Problem

DATA USAGE Hassan’s wireless contract allows him to

use at most 5 gigabytes (GB) of data per month. At this
point, Hassan has used 3.7 GB of data. How many
gigabytes of data can Hassan use during the rest of the
month without exceeding the maximum allowance?
Complete the table to write an inequality to represent
how many gigabytes of data Hassan can use. Then
solve the inequality.

Solving Inequalities by Using Multiplication
and Division
If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a
positive number, then the inequality remains true.
If you multiply or divide each side of an inequality by a
negative number, the inequality symbol changes direction.
