Answer:

  6 lengths

Step-by-step explanation:

You essentially want the smallest integer solution to ...

  60x ≥ 350

  x ≥ 350/60

  x ≥ 5 5/6

The smallest integer solution to this is x = 6.

The minimum number of lengths of hose needed is 6.

_____

Informally, you know that dividing the required total length by the length of one hose will tell you the number of required hoses. You also know the ratio 350/60 is equivalent to 35/6 and that this will be between 5 and 6. (5·6 = 30; 6·6 = 36) The next higher integer value will be 6.
