Question

coach kirby is forming dodgeball teams from students in her physical education class. she wants teams that each have 6 students. there are fewer than 48 students in the class, so coach kirby cant form as many full teams as she wants. let x represent how many full teams coach kirby can form. which inequality describes the problem? 6x > 48 6x < 48 solve the inequality. then, complete the sentence to describe the solution. coach kirby can form fewer than \boxed{} full teams.

Explanation:

Step1: Select correct inequality

Each team has 6 students, total students < 48. So $6x < 48$.

Step2: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 6: $\frac{6x}{6} < \frac{48}{6}$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$x < 8$

Answer:

The correct inequality is $6x < 48$.
Coach Kirby can form fewer than 8 full teams.
