Answer :

The number m has the ability to make the inequality true = -8

What is an inequality ?

In mathematics, "inequality" refers to a relationship between two expressions or values that are not equal to one another.

Inequalities which are commonly used are as follows :

Less than = <

Greater than = >

Less than and equal = ≤

Greater than and equal = ≥

The integer that will make the inequality true is m = -8

(1/4)(m - 4) ≤ (1/8)(m - 16)

1/4 x -12 ≤ 1/8 x -24

-3 ≤ -3

According to the given information

We have,

One-fourth times the difference between m and four is less than or equal to one-eighth times the difference between m and sixteen

This can be written as,

(1/4)(m - 4) ≤ (1/8)(m - 16)

The value at which the inequality will be true.

S = {−32, −8, 16, 32}

We will check each value.

m = -32

1/4 x -36 ≤ 1/8 x -48

-9 ≤ -4

Not true

m= -8

1/4 x -12 ≤ 1/8 x -24

-3 ≤ -3

True

m = 16

1/4 x 12 ≤ 1/8 x 0

3 ≤ 0

Not true

m = 32

1/4 x 28 ≤ 1/8 x 16

7 ≤ 2

Not true

Thus,

The number m has the ability to make the inequality true = -8

(1/4)(m - 4) ≤ (1/8)(m - 16)

1/4 x -12 ≤ 1/8 x -24

-3 ≤ -3
