A large male giraffe needs to eat at least 75 pounds of food each day. At each feeding, the giraffe is fed 3 pounds of food. The giraffe has already consumed 24 pounds of food. How many more times x does the giraffe need to be fed? Write your answer as an inequality

How many more times x does the giraffe need to be fed?

a) 17 times

Write your answer as an inequality

Let x represent the number of feedings left.

1/3(75 - 24) ≤ x

= (25 - 8) ≤ x

= 17 ≤ x

Step-by-step explanation:

A large male giraffe needs to eat at least 75 pounds of food each day.

At each feeding, the giraffe is fed 3 pounds of food.

Hence,

3 pounds of food = 1 feeding

75 pounds of food =

= 75/3

= 25 feedings.

That means in a day, the giraffe is fed 25 times.

The giraffe has already consumed 24 pounds of food. How many more times x does the giraffe need to be fed?

3pounds of food = 1 feeding

24 pounds of food =

Cross Multiply

= 24/3

= 8 feedings.

From the calculation here, the cloth has already fed the giraffe 8 times

Hence,

= 25feedings - 8 feedings

= 17 Feedings left.

Hence, the giraffe has 17 Feedings left to go.

Write your answer as an inequality

Let x represent the number of feedings left.

1/3(75 - 24) ≤ x

= (25 - 8) ≤ x

= 17 ≤ x
