Question

*Roger is having a picnic for 78 guests, He plans to serve each guest at least one hot dog. Ifeach package p contains 8 hot dogs, which inequality could be used to determine the numberpackages of hot dogs Roger must buy?

Answer 1

Since roger needs to serve at least one hot dog per guest, and he has 78 guests, he needs to buy enough packages to feed everyone. Each package contains 8 hot dogs, if we divide the number of guests by the number of hot dogs in each package, we should find how many packages he should buy.

`\begin{gathered} p\ge(78)/(8) \\ p\ge9.75 \end{gathered}`

He needs to buy at least 9.75 packages, since he wouldn't be able to buy 0.75 packages, he'll need to buy at least 10 packages.
