Question

11. Students in a math class are divided into 8 equal groups with a least

3 students in each group for a project.
Write an inequality to describe the possibile numbers of students in each
group
Use the Multiplication Property of Incqualay to write an inequality to
describe the possible numbers of students in the class.

Answer 1

Inequality for each group is
`x \ge 3` where x is the number of students in a group.

The inequality for the entire class is
`8x \ge 24`

There are at least 24 students in the class.

==============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of students per group

We have at least 3 students per group, which means x = 3 is the lowest we can go. This forms the inequality
`x \ge 3`

Use the multiplication property of inequality to multiply both sides by 8 because we have 8 equal groups

`x \ge 3\\\\8*x \ge 8*3\\\\8x \ge 24\\\\`

There are at least 24 students in the class. In other words, there are 24 or more students in the class.
