Answer:
[tex]60 + 10m \ge 200[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Current = 60 gallons
Rate = 50 gallons per 5 minutes
Expected = At least 200 gallons
Required
Determine the inequality that represents the scenario
First, we need to calculate the unit rate
Rate = 50 gallons per 5 minutes
[tex]Unit\ Rate = \frac{50}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Unit\ Rate = 10[/tex]
This implies 10 gallons per minute
The inequality is then calculated as thus:
[tex]Current + Rate * m = Expected[/tex]
Where m represent the number of minutes
[tex]60 + 10 * m = At\ least 200[/tex]
At least 200 means greater than or equal to 200.
So, we have:
[tex]60 + 10 * m \ge 200[/tex]
[tex]60 + 10m \ge 200[/tex]
