Step-by-step explanation:

The number of cars that the farmer milked in one hour is 16.

The size of his herd varies as new calves are born and he sells off some of his stock.

He never has less than 48 cows nor more than 64. This means that the least number of hours that spends in milking cows would be

48/16 = 3 hours

The most number of hours that spends in milking cows would be

64/16 = 4 hours.

Therefore, the hours it takes him to milk his cows is 3 ≤ x ≤ 4

Where x represents the number of hours it takes him to milk his cows.
