Question

glenwood high school is constructing a new concrete basketball court that will need 60 cubic yards of concrete. when mixed, one bag of concrete will fill 0.5 cubic yards. the school ordered more than enough concrete to completely fill in the court. let x represent how many bags of concrete the school ordered. which inequality describes the problem? 0.5x < 60 0.5x > 60 solve the inequality. then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. the school ordered more than \boxed{} bags of concrete. submit work it out

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the inequality

The total concrete from \( x \) bags is \( 0.5x \) cubic yards. The school ordered more than enough (more than 60 cubic yards), so the inequality is \( 0.5x > 60 \).

Step2: Solve the inequality

To solve \( 0.5x > 60 \), divide both sides by \( 0.5 \):
\( x > \frac{60}{0.5} \)
\( x > 120 \)

Answer:

The inequality is \( 0.5x > 60 \), and the school ordered more than 120 bags of concrete.
