Julio's father is 4 times as old as Julio. The sum of their ages is no less than 55.
Enter an inequality that can be used to represent this situation in the first box, where x represents Julio's age.
Enter the youngest age Julio can be in the second box.
F = 4J
F+J>= 55
4J + J >= 55
5J >= 55
J = 11
Let's break down the information given in the problem:
Let x represent Julio's age.
Julio's father is 4 times as old as Julio: 4x is the father's age.
The sum of their ages is no less than 55: x + 4x ≥ 55.
Simplifying the inequality:
x + 4x ≥ 55
5x ≥ 55
To find the youngest age Julio can be, we need to solve this inequality for x. Dividing both sides by 5:
5x/5 ≥ 55/5
x ≥ 11
Therefore, the inequality that represents the situation is 5x ≥ 55, and the youngest age Julio can be is 11 years old.
