Question

Jacob needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.

Answer 1

An inequality that represent  the number of cans, c, that Jacob must still collect is  $c\geq 56$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Jacob needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items.  We need to solve the following :

Part A:

Write and solve an inequality to represent the number of cans, c, that Jacob must still collect.

Jacob has collected 64 cans . Jacob need to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit , Let Number of cans that Jacob have to collect is c , So following is the inequality for above scenario:

⇒ $c+64\geq 120$

⇒ $(c+64)-64\geq 120-64$

⇒ $c\geq 56$

Therefore , An inequality that represent  the number of cans, c, that Jacob must still collect is  $c\geq 56$ .
