A storage bin must be 6 inches high to fit between two shelves but must contain at least 178 in.3. How would you write an inequality to express the possible area, b, of the base of the bin?(1 point)

The inequality would be written as:

b * 6 ≥ 178

This inequality states that the area of the base of the bin (b) multiplied by the height of the bin (6 inches) must be greater than or equal to 178 in.3 in order for the bin to fit between the two shelves and meet the volume requirement.
