Answer:

36 - 0.12h < 12 - 0.6h

Step-by-step explanation:

Large bucket:

36 gallons and is leaking at a rate of 0.12 gallons per hour.

= 36 - 0.12h

Smaller bucket:

12 gallons and is leaking at a rate of 0.6 gallons per hour

= 12 - 0.6h

The inequality that can be used to find the number of hours, h, at which the larger bucket will have less water than the smaller bucket is

36 - 0.12h < 12 - 0.6h
