Question

A van can ferry a maximum of 12 people.By setting up an inequality , find the minimum number of vans that are needed to ferry 80 people.

Answer 1

Answer:

Given a bus can ferry a maximum of 12 people .by setting up an inquality find minimum number of bus that are needed to ferry 80 people

Given a bus can carry a maximum of 12 people. We need to find minimum number of buses to carry 80 people.

Now 12 people can go in 1 bus.

Therefore 1 person can go in 1/12 bus

Now 1 person can go in 1/12 bus

Therefore 80 people can travel in 1/12 x 80

                                                   = 6.6  

                                                    = 7

Therefore minimum buses needed will be 7

Now we can write inequality as 12 x x > = 80

                    Or x ≥ 80 / 12

       or x > = 6.6
