Analyzing an Inequality Solution for Maximum Value
A student was asked to solve the following problem: 'A baker is making batches of cookies. Each batch requires 4 ounces of flour. The baker has a bag of flour that contains less than 60 ounces. What is the maximum number of full batches of cookies the baker can make?'
The student provided the following solution: Step 1: Let 'b' be the number of batches. Step 2: The total flour needed is 4b. The inequality is 4b < 60. Step 3: Divide by 4 to get b < 15. Step 4: Therefore, the maximum number of batches is 15.
In which step did the student make a critical error in their conclusion? Explain the mistake and provide the correct maximum number of batches.

A student is solving the following problem: 'A storage container can hold a total weight of less than 2,000 pounds. If it is being filled with identical boxes that each weigh 50 pounds, what is the maximum number of boxes that can be placed in the container?' The student provides this reasoning: 'Let x be the number of boxes. The inequality is 50x < 2000. Dividing by 50, I get x < 40. Therefore, the maximum number of boxes is 40.' Which statement best analyzes the student's reasoning?
