MISSING DETAILS

Yoko's fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 5 liters per minute until the tank has at least 57 liters. What are the possible numbers of minutes Yoko could add water?

Answer:

Minutes = 8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Topic: Inequality

Given:

Available Size of water = 17 liters

Increment = 5 liters/minute

Size of water needed = At least 57 liters

Putting the above together, as have

17 + 5m > 57

where m represents total minutes and > represent at least

Solving the Inequality

5m > 57 - 17

5m > 40 ------ Divide through by 5

5m/5 > 40/5

m > 8

So, Yoko will need to add water for at least 8 minutes before she fills her tank to 57 liters.
