Question

Last week, a dairy farm produced n kg of cheese.

The dairy farm also produced 30 kg more yoghurt than cheese and 4 times
as much ice cream as cheese.
The dairy farm produced more kilograms of ice cream than yoghurt last
week.
Write and solve an inequality to work out the possible values of n.

Answer 1

The dairy farm produced 30 + n kg of yoghurt, where n is the number of kilograms of cheese produced.

The dairy farm also produced 4n kg of ice cream, where n is the number of kilograms of cheese produced.

Since the dairy farm produced more kilograms of ice cream than yoghurt, we can write the following inequality:

4n > 30 + n

Subtracting n from both sides gives us:

3n > 30

Dividing both sides by 3 gives us:

n > 10

Therefore, the possible values of n are any value greater than 10, such as 11, 12, 13, 14, and so on.
