Question

The basketball team spends 20 minutes running laps and at least 15 minutes discussing plays. Practice lasts one hour and 45 minutes. Write and solve an inequality to find the amount of time remaining to work on other drills.

Answer 1

`t\leq 70`

Explanation:

The team spends 20 minutes running laps

At least 15 minutes discussing plays.

Practice lasts one hour and 45 minutes.

We know that 1 hour = 60 minutes, so the practice lasts,

60+45= 105 minutes.

The team spends a total of
`20+15=35` minutes in running and discussion.

So the time remaining to work on other drills is,

`t\leq 105-35`

`t\leq 70`
