Question

1. a school needs at least 24 volunteers for a carnival. so far, 16 people have signed up. let ( v ) represent how many more volunteers they need. which inequality shows how many more people must volunteer?

( \bigcirc v geq 8 )
( \bigcirc v = 8 )
( \bigcirc v leq 8 )
( \bigcirc v < 8 )

Explanation:

Step1: Define the inequality

The total volunteers needed is at least 24. So far, 16 have signed up, and \( v \) is the number of additional volunteers. So the inequality is \( 16 + v \geq 24 \).

Step2: Solve the inequality

Subtract 16 from both sides: \( 16 + v - 16 \geq 24 - 16 \), which simplifies to \( v \geq 8 \).

Answer:

\( v \geq 8 \) (the first option)
