Answer: 20 + 40 n ≥ 260 or n ≥ 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, The work by one part time worker = 20 person-hours per week.
And, the work by each full time worker = 40 person-hours per week.
Thus, the work by n full time worker = (40 n) person-hours per week.
If one part time worker and n full time worker are hired,
Then, the total work done = 20 + 40 n
According to the question,
20 + 40 n ≥ 260
Which is the required inequality,
By the above inequality,
40 n ≥ 260 - 20
⇒ 40 n ≥ 240
⇒ n ≥ 6
