Aiden is trying to pick up some lawn mowing jobs over the weekend to make extra money for a school trip. Each lawn in his neighborhood takes an average of 40 minutes to mow, and Aiden has no more than 11 hours, or 660 minutes, of available time to mow lawns. If Aiden mows his grandparents' farm which takes him 110 minutes, and x represents the number of lawns he mows in his neighborhood, which inequality represents this situation?

Answer:
110 + 40x \leq 660

Explanation:

Here, x represents the number of lawns he mows in his neighborhood,

Since, He takes 110 minutes in working with his grandfather.

And, after this he mows in his neighborhood,

Also, Each lawn in his neighborhood takes an average of 40 minutes to mow,

Thus, the total time taken by him = 110 + 40 x

Aiden has no more than 11 hours, or 660 minutes,

Thus time taken by him can not be exceed to 660 minutes,

Therefore,
110 + 40x \leq 660

Which is the required inequality.
