Answer:
a) x ≥ 4.33
b) The killer whale should eat four or five more buckets of fish because eating it will give the required amount of fishes the killer whale is required to eat per day.
Step-by-step explanation:
The killer whale has taken 75 pounds of fish.
It needs to eat at least 140 pounds of fish per day. This means that the whale has at least (140 – 65)= 65 pounds of fish to eat for that day.
a) you Let the count of bucket = x
Each bucket holds 15 pounds of fish
Quantity of 1 bucket * count of bucket = what is remaining for the fish to eat
15x = 65
x = 65/15
x= 4.33
x= 4.33 buckets
At least 4.33 buckets means greater than or equal to 4.33 buckets.
Therefore the count of the bucket is
x ≥ 4.33
b) The killer whale should eat four or five more buckets of fish because eating it will give the required amount of fishes the killer whale is required to eat per day.
