Question

Coach Kirby is forming dodgeball teams from students in her physical education class.

She wants teams that each have 6 students. There are fewer than 48 students in the class,
so Coach Kirby can't form as many full teams as she wants.
1)) Let x represent how many full teams Coach Kirby can form. Which inequality describes
the problem?
6x < 48
6x > 48

Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.
1) Coach Kirby can form fewer than 8|
full teams.


Please hurry

Answer 1

Each group will have 6 students, but there are less than 48 students in the class.

Now, if there are x teams, and each team has 6 students, the total number of students in teams will be x times 6, or:

x*6

And there are less than 48 students, then we x*6 will be smaller than 48, or:

x*6 < 48.

Now we can solve this inequality by dividing by 6 in both sides, this leads to:

x*6/6 < 48/6

x < 8

Then the total number of teams will be smaller than 8.
