The manager at Sunshine Days Camp is going to buy juice for the campers. Each bottle contains 64 ounces of juice. Each camper is expected to drink more than 11 ounces of juice. There are 72 campers. Explain how the manager would write an inequality to represent the number of ounces of juice,j,that she should buy. and what is the least number of bottles of juice the manager can buy to have at least this much juice? I am trying real hard to figure out this problem. It is so difficult for me. Please help me. I sent this problem in about an hour ago. Please please please at least help me get started.
(11 * 72)/64 < x
Round up for the value of x.
To represent the number of ounces of juice the manager should buy, we need to consider that each camper is expected to drink more than 11 ounces of juice. So, we can multiply the number of campers (72) by the number of ounces each camper is expected to drink (11) to find the minimum number of ounces needed:
72 x 11 = 792
Therefore, the manager should buy at least 792 ounces of juice. However, since each bottle contains 64 ounces, we need to determine the least number of bottles the manager should buy to have at least 792 ounces.
To do this, we divide the total number of ounces needed (792) by the number of ounces in each bottle (64):
792 ÷ 64 = 12.375
Since we cannot buy fractional bottles, we round up to the nearest whole number to ensure we have enough juice. Therefore, the least number of bottles the manager should buy is 13.
