Let h be the number of hours the fruit and juice bar must stay open to reach their goal of selling more than 348 glasses of fruit punch.

The total number of glasses sold after h hours can be expressed as 29h.
The inequality representing the number of glasses sold must be greater than 348 is:

29h > 348

Therefore, the inequality that can be used to find h is:

h > 348/29

h > 12

Therefore, the fruit and juice bar must stay open for more than 12 hours to reach their goal of selling more than 348 glasses of fruit punch.
