you have 3 hours to do your homework. you spend 45 min on math. you want to divide the time remaining equally along 4 subjects. write and solve the inequality to find the # of minutes you can spend on each subject. I know the answer is 33.75 but can you tell me how to write the inequality?
can you help with math question just posted by me?
If I'm not incorrect, the inequality would be 180=4x+45. 180-45=135/4=33.75.
6*6=36 6*7=42
To determine the number of minutes you can spend on each subject, we can follow these steps:
Let x represent the number of minutes you can spend on each subject.
Since you have 3 hours, which is equal to 180 minutes, and you spend 45 minutes on math, the time remaining will be 180 - 45 = 135 minutes.
Now, we can create an inequality to represent the situation. Since you want to divide the time equally among 4 subjects, you need to divide the remaining time by 4 and make sure it fits within 0 and 135 minutes.
The inequality can be written as:
0 < x < 135/4
Simplifying it gives:
0 < x < 33.75
Therefore, the number of minutes you can spend on each subject is limited by the inequality 0 < x < 33.75.
