SUPPOSE IT TAKES NO MORE THAN 25 MIN FOR YOU TO GET TO SCHOOL. IF YOU HAVE TRAVELED FOR 13.5 MIN ALREADY, HOW MUCH LONGER, AT MOST, MIGHT YOU TAKE TO GET TO SCHOOL? PLS HELP ME. I NEED TO SOLVE AN INEQUALITY THAT MODELS THIS PROBLEM. THANKS
11.5 minutes ;)
To solve this problem, we can set up an inequality to represent the given information.
Let's represent the time it takes you to get to school as "x" (in minutes).
According to the problem, it takes no more than 25 minutes to get to school. Therefore, we can write the inequality as:
x ≤ 25
Since you have already traveled for 13.5 minutes, we can subtract this time from the overall time taken to get to school.
x - 13.5 ≤ 25
Simplifying this inequality, we get:
x ≤ 25 + 13.5
x ≤ 38.5
So, at most, it might take you an additional 38.5 minutes to get to school.
To solve this problem, you need to set up an inequality using the given information. Let "x" represent the additional time it might take you to get to school.
Since you have already traveled for 13.5 minutes, the total time it might take you to get to school is given by the expression 13.5 + x.
The problem states that it takes no more than 25 minutes to get to school. Therefore, your inequality would be:
13.5 + x ≤ 25
To find the maximum additional time you might take, you need to solve this inequality.
First, subtract 13.5 from both sides of the inequality:
x ≤ 25 - 13.5
Simplifying the expression:
x ≤ 11.5
So, at most, you might take an additional 11.5 minutes to get to school.
First, please do not use all capitals. Online it is like SHOUTING. Not only is it rude, but it is harder to understand. Thank you.
x - 13.5 ≤ 25
