Felix wants to get at least one hour of exercise each day Today he has run for 40 minutes. Write an inequality to show how much longer he needs to exercise to reach his goal
40+e≥ 60
e≥ 20
Right.
To write the inequality to show how much longer Felix needs to exercise to reach his goal, we can start by representing the time he has already exercised, which is 40 minutes. We'll use the variable e to represent the additional time he needs to exercise.
To reach his goal of at least one hour (60 minutes) of exercise per day, Felix needs to exercise for an additional amount of time, e, such that the total time equals or exceeds 60 minutes.
Therefore, the inequality representing the remaining time Felix needs to exercise is:
40 + e ≥ 60
This inequality states that the sum of the time Felix has already exercised (40 minutes) and the additional time he needs to exercise (e minutes) must be greater than or equal to 60 minutes.
