Kaleb and Kobe went to the mall and spent the same amount of money. Kaleb spent less than or equal to $45, and Kobe spent more than $40. We need to create a number line to represent the possible amounts they could have spent.

0. We need to create a number line to represent the possible amounts they could have spent.

2. Solution Steps

Let $x$ be the amount Kaleb and Kobe spent.

We are given that Kaleb spent less than or equal to $45, so$x \le 45$.

We are also given that Kobe spent more than $40, so$x > 40$.

Combining these inequalities, we have $40 < x \le 45$.

This means the amount spent is greater than $40 but less than or equal to$

5. On a number line, we would represent this by an open circle at $40$ (since $x > 40$) and a closed circle at $45$ (since $x \le 45$). The line between these two points would be shaded or thickened to represent all the possible values of $x$.

3. Final Answer

The possible amounts Kaleb and Kobe could have spent are represented on a number line by an open circle at $40$ and a closed circle at $45$, with the line segment between $40$ and $45$ shaded. The amount spent $x$ is such that $40 < x \le 45$.
