Julia is allowed to watch no more then 5 hours of tv a week. She has already watched 1.5 hours. Write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.
I think its:
1.5+t(underlined<)5
t(underlined<)5-1.5
t(underlined<)3.5
she can watch 3.5 hours!
You should define what t represents
In your case t is the time remaining to watch TV
you had:
1.5+t ≤ 5
t ≤ 5 - 1.5
t ≤ 3.5
she can watch 3.5 hours or less!
Notice I slightly edited your last line
ohh….. ok. thank you! so... I was right?
Yes, you're on the right track. To represent the number of hours Julia can still watch, let's use the variable "t". The inequality would be:
1.5 + t < 5
To solve for t, we subtract 1.5 from both sides of the inequality:
t < 5 - 1.5
Simplifying:
t < 3.5
So, Julia can still watch no more than 3.5 hours of television this week.
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality that represents the situation. Let's define "t" as the number of additional hours Julia can watch this week.
According to the problem, Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of TV a week. Since she has already watched 1.5 hours, the total number of hours she can watch can be represented as:
1.5 + t ≤ 5
This inequality states that the sum of the hours Julia has already watched (1.5) and the hours she can still watch (t) must be less than or equal to 5.
To find out how many hours Julia can still watch, we solve the inequality for "t":
1.5 + t ≤ 5
Subtracting 1.5 from both sides, we get:
t ≤ 5 - 1.5
Simplifying, we have:
t ≤ 3.5
So Julia can watch, at most, 3.5 hours of TV this week before exceeding her allowed limit of 5 hours.
