Q. Turner made spiced apple cider for a holiday party and divided it evenly among 12 mugs. Each mug had more than 10 fluid ounces of apple cider.Let x represent how much apple cider Turner made. Which inequality describes the problem?Choices:(A) 12x≥10(B) 12x>10Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.Turner made more than ____ fluid ounces of apple cider.
Define Problem: Let's define the problem: Turner divided the total amount of cider, x, evenly among 12 mugs, and each mug had more than 10 ounces. We need to find the inequality that represents this situation and solve for x.
Find Inequality: To find the correct inequality, we consider that each mug has more than 10 ounces. So, if x is the total amount of cider, then each mug gets 12x ounces. Since each mug has more than 10 ounces, the inequality is \frac{x}{12} > 10.
Solve Inequality: Now, solve the inequality \frac{x}{12} > 10. Multiply both sides by 12 to isolate x: x > 10 \times 12x > 120.
Final Answer: Turner made more than 120 fluid ounces of apple cider. This answers the question and matches the correct choice (B) from the given options.
