Sagot :

A family consumes 1.2kg of rice a day

If the family have 30ky of rice

Let the number of days be x

The minimum number of days required for the amount of rice remaining not to be more than 6kg can be expressed below as

[tex]30-1.2x\le6[/tex]

Solve for x by collecting like terms

[tex]\begin{gathered} 30-1.2x\le6 \\ 30-6\le1.2x \\ 24\le1.2x \\ 1.2x\ge24 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 1.2} \\ \frac{1.2x}{1.2}\ge\frac{24}{1.2} \\ x\ge20\text{ days} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the minimum number of days required for the amount of rice remaining not to be more than 6kg is 20 days
