If Fred feeds 12 horses for two weeks with 25 bales of hay, how many bales of hay does he need to feed 15 horses for two weeks?

He needs 31.25 bales of hay to feed 15 horses for two weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a rule of three.

25 bales of hay feed 12 horses. How many feed 15 horses?

12 horses - 25 bales of hay

15 horses - x bales of hay

He needs 31.25 bales of hay to feed 15 horses for two weeks

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
