Algebra.Com's Answer #736642 by Theo(13342)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! letting x equal the number of ships, your inequality would be:\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "60 * x >= 400\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you would solve for x to get x >= 400 / 60 = 6.67.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you would round up to get x = 7.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 ships will carry 6 * 60 = 360 passengers \n" ); document.write( "7 ships will carry 7 * 60 = 420 passengers.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
