Q. Scarlett bought a bag of soil for some new plants. She divided it evenly into 5 clay pots and put more than 6 quarts of soil into each pot.Let x represent how many quarts of soil were in the bag. Which inequality describes the problem?Choices:(A) 5x>6(B) 5x≥6Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.There were more than ____ quarts of soil in the bag.
Understand Problem & Inequality: Understand the problem and set up the inequality. Scarlett divided the soil into 5 pots, and each pot got more than 6 quarts. So, if x is the total amount of soil, each pot gets 5x quarts. Since each pot has more than 6 quarts, the inequality is \frac{x}{5} > 6.
Solve Inequality: Solve the inequality.To find the total amount of soil, multiply both sides of the inequality by 5.\frac{x}{5} > 6x > 6 \times 5x > 30
