Briana is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of T.V a week. So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. Write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of T.V Briana can still watch this week.
Ok is this correct?
T<5
T - 1.5 < 5 - 1.5
T = 3.5
I don't know Cindy?
if she can wath another x hours, then since the total cannot exceed 5, we have
1.5 + x <= 5
x <= 3.5
To solve this problem, we need to write an inequality that represents the given information.
Let's represent the remaining number of hours Briana can watch as "x".
We know that Briana has already watched 1.5 hours, so the total number of hours she can watch is 1.5 + x.
According to the given information, Briana is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of TV a week. Therefore, we can write the inequality as:
1.5 + x ≤ 5
To solve for "x", we need to isolate it on one side of the inequality.
Subtract 1.5 from both sides of the inequality:
x ≤ 5 - 1.5
x ≤ 3.5
So, Briana can still watch up to 3.5 hours of TV this week to stay within her allowed limit.
