Where Math Gets Real

Flying Ranges In “These Drones Save Lives!” you graphed inequalities to show ranges of values related to operating drones that are used to help people . Use what you learned to answer five more questions about the flight capabilities of a standard commercial drone.

1. A commercial drone can fly at speeds from more than 0 miles per hour up to a maximum of 45 miles per hour. Express this range as an inequality using the variable s , and graph it on the number line below.

4. Commercial drones can operate safely in outdoor temperatures above 14 degrees Fahrenheit, up to a maximum of 104 degrees. Express this range as an inequality, using the variable t , and graph it on the number line below.

2. Most commercial drones can detect objects greater than 1.5 feet and less than 65 feet away to prevent collisions. Express this range as an inequality, using the variable b , and graph it on the number line below.

5. An operator can fly a commercial drone from up to 11 miles away. What is the range of distances the drone can be from the operator? Express this range as an inequality using the variable d , and graph it on the number line below.

3. A commercial drone can fly through winds that reach speeds no more than 24 miles per hour. Express this range as an inequality, using the variable w , and graph it on the number line below.
