You do not have enough 6-inch beads to make the rope, so you will use 10-inch beads instead. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number of 10-inch beads that you can use.

To write an inequality representing the number of 10-inch beads that can be used, we need to compare the total length of beads required for the rope with the available length of 10-inch beads.

Let's assume the desired length of the rope is L inches, and let n be the number of 10-inch beads we can use.

If we need L inches of rope, we can calculate the total length of the available 10-inch beads (10n) and compare it with L. The inequality can be written as:

10n ≥ L

This inequality states that the total length of the available 10-inch beads must be greater than or equal to the desired length of the rope.

To solve the inequality, we need to know the value of L, the desired length of the rope. By substituting the given value of L into the inequality and solving for n, we can determine the maximum number of 10-inch beads that can be used.
