He currently has 8 pounds of dry food and wants to know how many guinea pigs can he have in the store. Write and solve an inequality to solve this problem. What is the solution to the inequality?

He can have 40 guinea pigs in the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jonas runs a pet store that sells guinea pigs, and he wants to ensure he has more than 1 pound of dry food for every five guinea pigs he has in the store, and he currently has 8 pounds of dry food, to know how many guinea pigs can he have in the store, the following equation must be performed:

1 = 5

8 = X

8 x 5 = X

40 = X

Therefore, he can have 40 guinea pigs in the store.
