Answer 1

Answer:

the least number of weeks is $13\ weeks$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the number of weeks

we know that

The inequality  that represent the situation is

$12x\geq 150$

solve for x

Divide by $12$ both sides

$x\geq 150/12$

$x\geq 12.5\ weeks$

therefore

the least number of weeks is $13\ weeks$
