Write an absolute value inequality for the weight range of each ball.

5. The table below gives recommended weight ranges for the balls from five different sports. (Hint: Find the average of each weight.)

 

Sport Weight range of ball used
Volleyball 260-280 grams
Basketball 600-650 grams
Water Polo 400-450 grams
Lacrosse 142-149 grams
Football 14-15 ounces

 

a. Write an absolute value inequality for the weight range of each ball.
b. For each ball, write an absolute value inequality describing the weights of balls that are outside the recommended range.
