Question

Celeste drinks at least 8 cups of water each day. She drinks her water from a bottle that holds 2 cups of water. So far, she drank 1.5 cups of water. Solve the inequality that shows the number of bottles of water Celeste should drink so that she drinks at least 8 cups of water.

Answer 1

Explanation:

8 cups total a day

1 bottle holds 2 cups (Celeste drinks 4 bottles a day = 8 cups)

If she drank 1.5 bottles already, she needs to drink 2.5 bottles

Let x be the number of bottles she needs to drink to have at least 8 cups

The inequality is x >= 2.5 bottles
