Help please! Write an inequality that represents the situation. A cat weighs less than 8 pounds.

w is a place holder for the cat's weight. It's some positive real number.

To describe all weights less than 8, we simply write w < 8.

For example, let's say the cat weighs 5 pounds. This would mean w = 5. In other words, 5 replaces w and we go from w < 8 to 5 < 8. This is a true inequality because 5 is smaller than 8.

Something like 10 < 8 is false because 10 is not less than 8. So w = 10 is not a solution to w < 8.

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
