Question

THE INEQUALITY T > 9 DESCRIBES THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS REQUIRED AT A SUMMER CAMP BASED ON THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND. INTERPRET THE SOLUTION OF THE INEQUALITY IN THIS REAL-WORD PROBLEM.

THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS CAN BE 6,7 OR 8.
THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS CAN BE 9,10,11 OR 12.
THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS CAN BE 10,11 OR 12.
THE NUMBER OF COUNSELORS CAN BE 9 1/2 OR 10.

Answer 1

The solution to the inequality T > 9 means that the number of counselors required at the summer camp must be greater than 9. In this real-world problem, this means that the camp must have at least 10 counselors present in order to effectively supervise the children who are attending. Having fewer than 10 counselors may result in inadequate supervision and potential safety concerns for the children at the camp.
