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 greater than or equal to 10

10x≤3
10 x is less than or equal to 3

3x≤10
3 x is less than or equal to 10

10x≥3

Answer 1

To represent the number of loaves of bread Daryl can bake with 10 cups of flour, we can set up the inequality based on the fact that he needs 3 cups of flour for each loaf.

Let \( x \) represent the number of loaves of bread Daryl can bake.

The total amount of flour needed for \( x \) loaves is \( 3x \) cups of flour. Since Daryl has 10 cups of flour, the inequality would be:

\[ 3x \leq 10 \]

This means that the amount of flour needed (3 times the number of loaves) cannot exceed the amount of flour he has (10 cups).

So the correct response is:

**3x ≤ 10**
3 x is less than or equal to 10.
