Explain the term inequality of numbers?

• An algebraic expression with two values that are not equal is represented by an inequality.
• A sign of inequality can be used to show that one of the two variables is larger than, greater than or comparable to, less than, or equal to another value.

The minimum set of spoons needed in the restaurant = 512 spoons.

Available spoons = 264.

Each set on the sale has 6 spoons.

Let the minimum number of spoon set required be 'x'.

Then,

6x + 264 ≥ 512

Solving the in equality.

6x ≥ 512 - 264

6x ≥ 248

x ≥ 248/6

x ≥ 41.33

Thus, Kennedy needs purchase at least 42 sets of spoons.
