To find the minimum number of buckets needed to fill the pool with at least 35 gallons of water, we need to divide the total amount of water needed by the amount the bucket can hold.
The inequality representing this situation is:
x * ≥ 35
where x represents the number of buckets needed.
Stella needs to fill a small pool with at least 35 gallons of water for her dog. There is currently gallons of water in the pool.
If she is using a bucket that can hold gallons of water, how many buckets of water, x, will she need to reach her goal? Select the inequality that shows the minimum number of buckets needed to fill the pool.
