Question

The Kirkland’s have a pool in their backyard that can hold a maximum of 4,500 gallons of water. The pool already contains 1,500 gallons of water. Mr. Kirkland begins to add more water at a rate of 30 gallons per minute. Write an inequality that shows the number of minutes, m, Mr. Kirkland can continue to add water to the pool without exceeding the maximum number of gallons.

Answer 1

100 minutes (or 1 hour and 40 minutes)

Explanation:

to start I subtracted 4,500( how much it can hold) by 1,500 (how much it has already) to get 3,000.

4500 - 1500 = 3000 (300 + 1500 = 4500)

so the pool would need 3,000 more gallons of water to reach the limit,

then divide 3,000 by 30 to know how many 30 gallows would be needed to reach the limit

3,000 ÷ 30 = 100 (100 x 30 = 3,00 so this is correct)

He would need to add water for 100m to avoid exceeding the limit.

That is as far as I know, you can utilize this problem to write an appropriate Inequality, I hope this is helpful!

Answer 2

Answer:30M + 1500 less than or equal to 4500

this should be the right awnser
