Tyler wants to buy some cherries at the farmer’s market. He has $10 and cherries cost $4 per pound. If \(c\) is the number of pounds of cherries that Tyler can buy, write one or more inequalities or equations describing \(c\). Can 2 be a value of \(c\)? Can 3 be a value of \(c\)? What about -1? Explain your reasoning.

If \(m\) is the amount of money, in dollars, Tyler can spend, write one or more inequalities or equations describing \(m\). Can 8 be a value of \(m\)? Can 2 be a value of \(m\)? What about 10.5? Explain your reasoning.
