Math problem...inequalities?

Question

I need help with a math problem. We're supposed to write an inequality to solve this. I really just need the inequality, so if you can just help me out, that would be great:

Between 15,000 cubic yd and 16,000 cubic yds of earth must be trucked away from a construction site. The trucks can remove 1000 cubic yds per day , and 10,500 cubic yds has already been removed. How many days are needed?

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

well first remember that 10500 has already been removed so that means there's between 4500 and 5500 yards left, and he can truck 1000 in a day, and since its 4500, that means it will take five days because yeah and 5500 will take 6 days because yeah... ... i can give you the inequality... for me it was (dont read on if you dont want to know)

its:

6 >_ x >_ 5

ps. i dont have a "greather than or equal too"/"less than or equal too" symbol on my thing, but >_  is what its supposed to mean

Answer 2

Answer 3

15,000<1000x+10,500<16,000
