Each student in Ms. Clark's class is decorating a shirt for a school program.
There are 25 students in the class. Ms. Clark already has 3 shirts. She will buy shirts in packages of 6 shirts. She cannot buy part of a package.
What is the minimum number of whole packages of shirts that Ms. Clark needs to buy?
To create an inequality to represent the situation, we need to consider the number of shirts required and the number of shirts Ms. Clark already has.
The total number of students in Ms. Clark's class is 25, and each student needs one shirt. So, the total number of shirts required is 25.
Ms. Clark already has 3 shirts. Let's assume she buys p packages of shirts (each package contains 6 shirts).
Therefore, the total number of shirts Ms. Clark will have is: 3 + 6p, where 6p represents the total number of shirts bought in packages.
To represent the situation as an inequality, we can say that the total number of shirts available must be greater than or equal to the total number of shirts required. Hence, we have:
3 + 6p ≥ 25
This inequality ensures that Ms. Clark has enough shirts for all the students in her class.
