trini needs more than 51 cubic feet or soil to top up his rasis garden each bag of soil contains 1.5 cubic feet.

Question

write and solve inequality

Answer 1

We don't know how many of bags of soil there are.  So we define a variable for this.

 

Let x = the number of bags of soil

 

Each bag contains 1.5 cubic feet.

 

 

The inequality is then

 

1.5x > 51

 

 

Divide both sides of the inequality by 1.5

 

x > 34

 

 

This means Trini needs 35 bags or more to top us his garden.
