Amina had m mangoes. She ate 3 and shared the remainder equally with her brother Uche. Each had at least 10. Which of the following inequalities represents the statements above.
- \(\frac{m}{2}-3\le 10\)
- \(\frac{m}{2}-3\ge 10\)
-
\(\frac{m-3}{2}\ge10\)
- \(\frac{m-3}{2}\le10\)
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Total number of mangoes = m
Amina ate 3 mangoes \(\implies\) Remainder = m - 3
Shared equally with Uche \(\implies \frac{m - 3}{2}\)
\(\frac{m - 3}{2} \geq 10\)
