Q. Valentina is baking jumbo cinnamon rolls for a family breakfast. She uses all the dough she made to form

12

cinnamon rolls of equal weight. The recipe usually makes

36

ounces of dough, but Valentina made more dough than that so she can have larger cinnamon rolls.

\newline

Let

x

represent how many ounces of dough Valentina uses for each cinnamon roll. Which inequality describes the problem?

\newline

12 x \geq 36 \quad 12 x>36

\newline

Solve the inequality. Then, complete the sentence to describe the solution.

\newline

Valentina uses more than

\square

ounces of dough for each cinnamon roll.

Define variable x: Let's define the variable x as the number of ounces of dough used for each cinnamon roll. Since Valentina made more than $36$ ounces of dough and formed $12$ cinnamon rolls, the inequality that describes the problem is: $\newline$ $12$ x > $36$
Find minimum dough amount: To find the minimum amount of dough per cinnamon roll, we need to solve the inequality for $x$ : $\newline$ Divide both sides of the inequality by $12$ to isolate $x$ : $\newline$ $x > \frac{36}{12}$
Solve for x: Now, let's do the division to find the value of $x$ : $x > 3$
