Q. Jax is making his famous fruit punch for a party. If one serving is 8 fluid ounces, and Jax wants to have at least 36 servings for the party, which of the following represents x, the amount of fruit punch he needs to make in fluid ounces?Choose 1 answer:(A) x≥8(B) x≥36(C) x≥228(D) x≥288
Identify Serving Amount: Identify the amount of fruit punch needed for one serving. One serving is 8 fluid ounces.
Calculate Total Amount: Calculate the total amount of fruit punch needed for 36 servings.Since each serving is 8 fluid ounces, we multiply the number of servings by the amount per serving: 36 servings ∗8 fluid ounces per serving.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication to find the total amount of fruit punch. 36 servings ×8 fluid ounces per serving =288 fluid ounces.
Write Inequality: Write the inequality that represents the amount of fruit punch Jax needs to make.Jax needs to make at least 288 fluid ounces of fruit punch, so x (the amount of fruit punch) must be greater than or equal to 288.The inequality is x≥288.
