To find this answer, you must first figure out how any pencils you are going to need.
so to find that you must multiply the number of children by the number of pencils each person will use. So 28 x 4 = 112
So then you have to figure out how many packages that you will need.
so to do that you divide the number of pencils by the number of pencils in one package.
so 112 / 8 = 14
The answer is 14 packages.
I hope this helps!
Have an amazing day!

The inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week is $x + 1.5 \leq 5$

The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed is 3.5 hours

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week

So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours

To find: number of hours Julia can still watch this week

<em>Let "x" be the number of hours Julia can still watch television this week</em>

"no more than 5" means less than or equal to 5 ( ≤ 5 )

Juila has already watched 1.5 hours. So we can add 1.5 hours and number of hours Julia can still watch television this week which is less than or equal to 5 hours

number of hours Julia can still watch television this week + already watched ≤ Total hours Juila can watch

$x + 1.5 \leq5$
