2a ≥ 5

2a ≤ 5

a + 2 ≥ 5

a+ 2 ≤ 5

Verified Answer :

The answer should be 2a< 5

Answer:

B. \(2a\leq 5\).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the statement,

'The product of a number and 2 is no more than 5'.

Let the number = a.

So, the product of the number and 2 = \(2a\)

Now, this product is no more than 5.

That is, the product is either equal to 5 or less than 5.

Thus, we get the corresponding expressions is \(2a\leq 5\).

Hence, option B is correct.
