Question

28 students travel on a field trip . They bring a van that can seat 12 students . Elena and Kiran's teacher asks other adults to drive cars that seat 3 children each to transport the rest of the students . Elena wonders if she should use the inequality 12 + 3n > 28 or to figure out how many cars are needed . Kiran doesn't think it matters in this case . Do you agree with Kiran ? Explain 12 + 3n >= 28 your reasoning .

Need an answer please!! :(

Answer 1

The inequality that can be used to determine the number of cars is  12 + 3n ≥  28. I agree with Kiran.

What inequality can be used to determine the number of cars needed?

These are inequality signs and what they mean:

• > means greater than
• < means less than
• ≥ means greater than or equal to

• ≤ less than or equal to

The cars used has to be greater or equal to the number of students. Thus, the inequality sign to be used is ≥.
