Question

Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of TV a week. So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours. Write and solve a inequality to show how many hours of television Julie can still watch this week.

Answer 1

T<5
T - 1.5 < 5 - 1.5
T<= 5
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed as

X ≤ 3.5

Explanation:

since Julia is allowed not to watch not more than 5 hours of TV in a week and she has watched 1.5 hours already

the remaining time (X) would be expressed as

x ≤ (5 - 1.5)

x ≤ 3.5 hours
