Linda uses 3/5 of a tin of paint to paint a fence panel, what is the least number of tins she needs to paint 8 fence panels?


let x = the number of tins needed to paint 8 fence panels, and x is integer


x >= (3/5)*8


x >= 24/5


x >= 4 4/5


the least integer that satisfies this inequality is x = 5.


Linda will need at least 5 tins of paint.
