    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
