(Write an inequality to solve this problem, 13.2 Independent Practice)

Pierre's parents ordered some pizzas for a party. 4.5 pizzas were eaten at the party. There were at least 5 1/2 whole pizzas left over. How many pizzas did Pierre's parents order?

Answer 1

5  1/2=5+ 1/2=(10+1) /2=11/2=5.5
x=number of pizzas that were ordered

The inequality is:
x≥5.5+4.5
x≥10
answer: x≥10
