Q:

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST AND 16 POINTSStudents at a playground are divided into 5 equal groups with at least 6 students in each group. Write an inequality to represent the number of students at the playground.

Accepted Solution

A:
We want to think about what is happening on the playground. We have a total number of students, and they are standing around in 5 groups. There are at least 6 students in each group. Now we can begin to translate it into math. We are DIVIDING the total number of students into 5 groups. Mathematically, we would write "n/5" where n is the total number of students. The "at least" tells us that it is possible for exactly 6 students to be in a group. We're ready to write the expression, multiply both sides by 5 to solve for n.

n/5 β‰₯ 6 students
n β‰₯ 30 students


Hope this helped!
