Three times the sum of half Carlita’s age and 3 is at least 12. What values represent Carlita’s possible age?

c >= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: represent the question with an equation

Let the missing age be c

3 times 1/2c + 3 is greater than or equal to 12

3 (1/2c +3) >= 12

Divide both sides by 3

1/2c +3 >= 4

Combine like terms

1/2c >= 4 -3

1/2c >= 1

Divide both sides by 1/2

c >= 1 ÷ 1/2

c >= 1 x 2/1

c >= 2

therefore the value that can represent carlita's age starts from 2

i can't solve unless i know what the line is

36 girls

step-by-step explanation:

the 48 boys is 4 parts of the ratio

divide 48 by 4 to obtain one part of the ratio

= 12 ← 1 part of the ratio

3 parts = 3 × 12 = 36 ← number of girls
