The quotient of 16 and b is at most 4
explain the question or i cant help
16/b ≤ 4
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality based on the given information.
Let's define the variable b as the unknown value. The quotient of 16 and b can be expressed as 16/b.
Since the quotient is at most 4, we can write the inequality as:
16/b ≤ 4
To solve this inequality, we'll isolate the variable b by multiplying both sides of the inequality by b, resulting in:
16 ≤ 4b
Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by 4 to solve for b:
16/4 ≤ 4b/4
4 ≤ b
Therefore, the solution to the inequality is b ≥ 4.
So, in order for the quotient of 16 and b to be at most 4, the value of b must be greater than or equal to 4.
