Question

dorothy is making sausages. if she wants to make at least 24 sausages that weigh 12 ounces each, which of the following best describes ( x ), the total weight of the sausages in ounces?
choose 1 answer:
a ( \frac{x}{12} geq 24 )
b ( \frac{x}{12} leq 24 )
c ( x - 12 geq 24 )
d ( x - 12 leq 24 )

Explanation:

Step1: Relate total weight to count

The number of sausages is $\frac{x}{12}$, since each is 12 oz.

Step2: Apply "at least 24" condition

"At least 24" means the number of sausages is greater than or equal to 24, so $\frac{x}{12} \geq 24$.

Answer:

A. $\frac{x}{12} \geq 24$
