Question 1112085: A box can hold a maximum of 60 comic books. If comic books are bundled together in groups of 8, write and solve an inequality to find the maximum number of bundles of comic books that the box can carry.
From the condition,
8*B <= 60,
where B is the number of bundles carrying 8 books each.
Divide both sides by 8. You will get
B <= = 7.5.
Answer. The number of bundles carrying 8 books is not more than 7.
