D.It takes 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels

Answer 1

B.It takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

Explanation:

The function f(x) gives the number of loads required when there are x bins of towels to be washed.

f(x)=Number of loads

x=Bins of towels

Therefore in the inequality f(9)>12

• Number of loads=12
• Bins of towel =9

If f(9)>12, it means Number of loads is more than 12.

f(9)>12 therefore tells us that it takes more than 12 loads to wash 9 bins of towels.

The correct option is B
