Noor brought 21 sheets of stickers. She gave 1/3 of a sheet to each of the 45 students at recess. She wants to give the teachers 1 1/2 sheets each. Which inequality describes the number of teachers, t, Noor could give sheets of stickers to?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]t\leq 4\ teachers[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t-------> the number of teachers

we know that

Noor gave [tex]1/3[/tex] of a sheet to each of the [tex]45[/tex] students at recess

so

the total number of sheets given to students equals to

[tex]45*\frac{1}{3}=\frac{45}{3}=15\ sheets[/tex]

The remain sheets is equal to

[tex]21-15=6\ sheets[/tex]

To find the maximum number of teachers divide the remain sheets by [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] sheets

remember that

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}=1.5[/tex]

so

[tex]6/1.5=4\ teachers[/tex]

therefore

the inequality is equal to

[tex]t\leq 4\ teachers[/tex]

Answer:

15+3/2t ≤21
