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 f/5 > 1.5. Solve the inequality.

Answer 1

To solve the inequality f/5 > 1.5, we can multiply both sides of the inequality by 5 to get rid of the fraction:

f/5 > 1.5
f > 1.5 * 5
f > 7.5

Therefore, the amount of flour need is greater than 7.5 cups in order to divide it into 5 piles, each measuring more than 1.5 cups.
