Question

Sergei runs a bakery. He needs at least 175 kilograms of flour in total to complete the holiday orders he's received. He only has 34 kilograms of flour, so he needs to buy more. The flour he likes comes in bags that each contain 23 kilograms of flour. He wants to buy the smallest number of bags as possible and get the amount of flour he needs. Let F represent the number of bags of flour that Sergei buys. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Kilogram of flour needed to complete holiday order is atleast 175kg

Number of kilograms available = 34kg

Flour comes in bags each contain 23kg of flour

He wants to buy the smallest number of bags as possible and get the amount of flour he needs.

Let F = number of bags of flours Sergei needs to buy

F = (total number of kilograms needed - number of kilograms available) / kilograms per bag

F = (≥ 175 - 34) / 23

F = ≥ 141 / 23 = ≥ 6.1304347

Since flour is purchased per bag, the smallest number of bags he can possibly buy and still get the amount of flour he need = 7 bags
