Ben was able to sell greater than or equal to three times as much fruit as Zachary. Ben sold 30 tons of fruit. What inequality models the tons of fruit Zachary sold? Use variable f

Question

to represent the unknown quantity.

Answer 1

Given that Ben sold 30 tons of fruit and was able to sell greater than or equal to three times as much fruit as Zachary, we can let \( f \) represent the tons of fruit Zachary sold. The relationship can be modeled by the inequality:

\[ 30 \geq 3f \]

This inequality states that Ben's sales (30 tons) are greater than or equal to three times the amount of fruit Zachary sold.
