Question

Mrs.Perry hires a landscaper that charges $15 per hr. The landscaper says the total charge for the work done is $120.00 Write an inequality to show h, the number of hours it took to do the work and solve the inequality.

Answer 1

h=8

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To write an inequality to represent the situation, let's first define the variable h as the number of hours it took to complete the work.

Now, we know that the landscaper charges $15 per hour. So, the total cost of the work is equal to $15 multiplied by the number of hours, which can be represented as 15h.

According to the problem, the total charge for the work is $120.00. So, we can write the inequality as:

15h ≤ 120

To solve this inequality for h, we need to isolate the variable.

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 15, we get:

h ≤ 8

Therefore, the solution to the inequality is h ≤ 8. This means that the number of hours it took to complete the work is less than or equal to 8 hours.

Answer 3

15h = 120

h = 8
