To solve the inequality 110 ≥ 3p, where p represents the number of peppers needed per box, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 3 to isolate p.
110 ≥ 3p
110/3 ≥ p
36.67 ≥ p
Since the farm cannot have a fraction of a pepper, the number of peppers needed per box should be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Therefore, each box should have at least 37 peppers.
A farm is planning to sell small boxes of peppers at the farmer's market. They have 110 boxes
to fill, and they want each box to have at least 3 peppers. The inequality 110 ≥ 3 expresses the total number of peppers, p, they need to harvest for each of the 110 boxes to contain at least 3 peppers. Solve this inequality. (1 point)
