Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Kathy swims at least 6 laps every day. Write an inequality to show how long Kathy swims each day.

Answer 1

If Kathy swims for at least 6 hours, she never swims for less than that amount but she could swim for 7, 8, 9, ... hours. The inequality would look like x>6 where x represents the hours that Kathy swims.

Answer 2

x ≥ 6.

Explanation:

Given : Kathy swims at least 6 laps every day.

To find: Write an inequality to show how long Kathy swims each day.

Solution : We have given that Kathy swims at least 6 laps every day.

We can see from given statement Kathy can swim 6 laps or greater then 6 laps in a day.

Then we use greater than or equal to sign ( for at least)

Since x ≥ 6.

Therefore, x ≥ 6.
