ou want to have enough flour to divide into 5 piles. Each pile must measure more than 1.5 cups. The inequality you write is f/5 >1.5 . Solve the inequality.

1 answer

To solve the inequality, we can multiply both sides by 5 to get rid of the denominator:

f > 7.5

So, you would need more than 7.5 cups of flour to be able to divide it into 5 piles, each measuring more than 1.5 cups.
