You want to have enough flour to divide into 5 piles. Each pile must measure more than 1.5 cups. The inequality you write is f5>1.5 . Solve the inequality.

1 answer

To solve the inequality f5 > 1.5, we need to find the minimum value of f5.

Since each pile must measure more than 1.5 cups, the minimum value for f5 is 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 7.5 cups.

Therefore, the solution to the inequality f5 > 1.5 is f5 > 7.5.
