Question

A recreation facility needs 700 hours of renovation work. You want to have enough volunteers so that no volunteer needs to work more than 30 hours. How many volunteers do you need? Write an inequality.

Answer 1

Let "x" be the number of volunteers needed.

The amount of work that each volunteer can do in 30 hours is 30x.

So, the inequality that represents the number of volunteers needed is:

30x ≥ 700
