Question

Sarah plans to spend more than 20 hours painting this week. She paints the same number of hours every weekday (Monday through Friday) and an additional 7 hours on the weekend. Write an inequality that shows the possible number of hours Sarah paints everyday.

Answer 1

4h +7 >20

1) Gathering the data

more than 20 h > 20

5 days painting + 7h on the weekend

Weekdays = Mon to Fri

Weekend =Sat, Sun

2) Setting an inequality

Mon to Fri (5 days. 20 /5 =4 In a day 4 hours)

In a week:

4h +7 >20

4h +7>20

4h >13

h>0.65 1h 05 per day approximately 1 h per day.
