Ms. Gallegos burns 236 calories riding her bike each hour. She wants to burn more than 590 calories riding her bike at the same rate.
Which inequality represents all possible values for t, the number of hours Ms. Gallegos must ride her bike to burn more than 590 calories?
A.
236t > 590
Let's set up an inequality to represent the situation.
Since Ms. Gallegos burns 236 calories per hour, we can represent the number of calories burned as 236t, where t is the number of hours.
We want to find the number of hours, t, needed to burn more than 590 calories. In other words, we want to find the values of t for which 236t > 590.
Therefore, the inequality that represents all possible values for t is:
236t > 590
