Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

c ≥ 56   is the REQUIRED INEQUALITY.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given  question is INCOMPLETE.

Xander needs to collect at least 120 cans for a food drive to earn community service credit. He has already collected 64 items. Choose the inequality and solution to represent the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.

Now, here:

The number of cans Xander needed to collect = At least 120

The number of items already collected =  64

c: the number of cans, c, that Xander must still collect.

Now, the number of cans to be collected  - Cans already collected  

=  120 - 64  = 56

So, the number of can he must collect to make a TOTAL OF AT LEAST 120 cans  =  56 cans

⇒ The number of cans to be collected ≥ 56 cans

⇒c ≥ 56 cans

or, c ≥ 56   is the REQUIRED INEQUALITY.
