Question

An art teacher needs to buy at least 60 brushes for her class. The brushes are sold in packs of 8. In which inequality does n represent the minimum number of packs the teacher needs to buy for her class?

Answer 1

Answer:

$n\leq 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An art teacher needs to buy at least 60 brushes for her class.

Number of brushes in each pack is equal to 8.

To find:  inequality where n represent the minimum number of packs the teacher needs to buy for her class

Solution:

Total number of brushes $\leq 60$

Also,

Total number of brushes = $8n$ where n represent the minimum number of packs the teacher needs to buy for her class

According to question,

$8n\leq 60\\n\leq \frac{60}{8}\\=7.5\\\approx 8$
