Question

You had a bag of fruit snacks that you shared with three friends. Each vehicle at most six fruit snacks. The inequality x divided by 4 more than or equal to 6 models this situation. Solve the inequality to find the number of fruit snacks that were in the bag.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality x / 4 ≥ 6, you multiply both sides by 4, resulting in x ≥ 24, indicating there were at least 24 fruit snacks in the bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to solve the inequality x / 4 ≥ 6 to determine the minimum number of fruit snacks in the bag shared among four people. To solve this inequality, we'll multiply both sides by 4 to isolate the variable x on one side. This will give us:

1. x / 4 × 4 ≥ 6 × 4
2. x ≥ 24

Therefore, there were at least 24 fruit snacks in the bag to ensure that each of the four people could have at most six fruit snacks.
