Question
Daryl is baking bread. He needs 3 cups of flour for each loaf. He already has 10 cups of flour. Create an inequality to represent the number of loaves of bread he can bake with what he has.(1 point)
Responses

3x≤10
3 x is less than or equal to 10

10x≥3
10 x is greater than or equal to 3

3x≥10
3 x is greater than or equal to 10

10x≤3

Answer 1

To determine the inequality that represents the number of loaves of bread Daryl can bake with the flour he has, let's denote the number of loaves he can bake as \( x \).

Since Daryl needs 3 cups of flour for each loaf and he has 10 cups of flour, the inequality can be set up as follows:

\[ 3x \leq 10 \]

This means that the total amount of flour needed for \( x \) loaves (which is \( 3x \)) should not exceed the amount of flour he has (which is 10 cups).

Thus, the correct response is:

3x ≤ 10
