A company safety policy states that a service elevator can carry a maximum of 8.4 people. When representing this as an inequality (p <= 8.4), what is the maximum whole number of people allowed in the elevator?

Match each real-world business scenario with the correct rounding rule used to determine a whole-number solution for an inequality.

In a corporate staffing scenario, when an inequality represents a minimum threshold that must be met (such as needing x >= 15.2 employees to complete a project), the rule for determining the minimum whole number of staff required is to round the decimal result ____ to the next whole number.

True or False: When a business application uses an inequality to represent a maximum budget limit (such as $n \leq 15.8$ for the number of units to purchase), the rule for finding the maximum whole number of items is to round the boundary value down, even if standard rounding rules would normally suggest rounding up.

When solving a real-world application that results in a decimal boundary for an inequality, arrange the following steps in the correct order to determine and confirm the final whole-number solution.

Guidelines for Rounding Inequality Solutions in Operational Planning

In professional operational planning, when an inequality requires a whole-number solution but results in a decimal boundary, which factor determines whether the result should be rounded up or down?

After rounding an inequality solution to a whole number, how should you check your answer?
