Question

8. Carlos has 3.25 months to read at le 13 books for his summer book club Part A Carlos plans to read the same number of books, b, each month. Write an inequality that represents the situation.​

Answer 1

Carlos has 3.25 months to read at least 13 books for his summer book club. If he plans to read the same number of books, b, each month, we can write an inequality to represent the situation as follows:

3.25b >= 13

This inequality can be read as: the total number of books Carlos reads over the 3.25 month period (3.25 * b) must be greater than or equal to 13.

Note that Carlos needs to read a minimum of 13 books in 3.25 months. If he reads more than 13 books in a month, he can read less on the next month, as long as the total number of books he reads is 13 or more.
