Jenny's fish tank has 17 liters of water in it. She plans to add 6 liters per minute until the tank has more than 59 liters. What are the possible numbers of minutes Jenny could add water?
Use for the number of minutes.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.
Let t be the number of minutes Jenny could add water.
Jenny plans to add 6t liters of water.
The inequality is 17+6t > 59.
We subtract 17 from both sides of the inequality to get 6t > 42.
We divide both sides of the inequality by 6 to get t > 7.
The possible numbers of minutes Jenny could add water are t > 7. Answer: \boxed{t > 7}.
