Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week. so far she has watched 1.5 hours write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of television she can still watch this week
1.5 + x <= 5
To solve this problem, we need to set up an inequality and solve for the number of hours Julia can still watch.
Let's assume that the number of hours Julia can still watch is represented by the variable "x".
The given information states that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week, and so far she has watched 1.5 hours. Therefore, the inequality can be expressed as:
1.5 + x ≤ 5
To solve this inequality, we need to isolate the variable "x" on one side of the equation. Since 1.5 is already added to "x", we need to subtract 1.5 from both sides of the inequality:
1.5 + x - 1.5 ≤ 5 - 1.5
This simplifies to:
x ≤ 3.5
So the solution to the inequality is x ≤ 3.5. This means Julia can still watch up to 3.5 hours of television for the remainder of the week.
