Answer:
a. i. x ≤ 25 ii. 16 < x < 35 iii. 25 < x ≤ 95 Â
b. The second and third car seats are appropriate for a 35 lb child.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Model those ranges with compound inequalities
Let x represent the car seat.
i. A car seat designed for a child weighing up to  and including 25 lb is described by the inequality.
x ≤ 25
ii. A car seat designed for a child weighing between 16 lb  and 35 lb is described by the inequality.
16 < x < 35
iii. A car seat designed for a child weighing between 25 lb  and 95 lb inclusive is described by the inequality.
25 < x ≤ 95
b. Which car seats are appropriate for a  33-lb child?
Since 35 lb is included in the range of the inequalities for the second and third card seats, the second and third car seats are appropriate for a 35 lb child.
