Problem Situation:
Eric is adding water to a 60-gallons pool.
The pool already has 12 gallons of water, and he wants to fill it to at least 27 gallons. The water flows at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.
How many minutes, x, will it take for Eric to fill the pool with at least 27 gallons of water?

Inequality that represents this situation:
27 ≤ 12 + 6x

To solve the inequality, you can begin by solving the equation as shown.

Drag a diagram to each row of the table to show which number line represents all of the solutions for the inequality and which number line represents all of the solutions for the problem situation.

!!!!PLEASE TELL ME WHAT LETTER GOES IN WHAT BOX!!!!

Answer:

3 Minute

Explanation:

So the pool can hold 60 gallons, and the pool already has 12 gallons. He wants to fill it up to 27 gallons, so the amount of gallons he has to fill is 27-12 = 15. if 6 gallons are poured in per minute and 6x2 = 12, 6x3 = 18, it will take 3 minutes for the pool to be filled
