Sure, let's go through the process of solving the problem step-by-step.
We need to express Shira's preference for eating all the grass using an inequality. Here's the information we have:
1. Shira the Sheep loves eating grass.
2. Shira the Sheep does not like water.
3. We need to ensure Shira eats all the grass.
Let's represent the amount of grass Shira eats with the variable [tex]\( x \)[/tex].
Since Shira loves eating grass and we want to make sure she eats all of it, we need [tex]\( x \)[/tex] to represent a quantity that satisfies her appetite.
The inequality we need should show that the amount of grass [tex]\( x \)[/tex] consumed by Shira must be at least 10 units. In mathematical terms, to represent this, we use the "greater than or equal to" symbol, which is written as [tex]\( \geq \)[/tex].
Putting this together, the inequality will be:
[tex]\[ x \geq 10 \][/tex]
This states that the amount of grass [tex]\( x \)[/tex] that Shira eats must be at least 10 units.
So the inequality [tex]\( x \geq 10 \)[/tex] ensures that Shira eats all the grass, meaning she consumes an adequate amount to satisfy her needs.
