D. 3x + 1 1/2 ≤ 7 1/2

Plz right answer

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Since Jackson has 7 1/2 hours to spend at the amusement park, he has already spent 1 1/2 of those hours at the water park (We will need this shortly). Since he has 6 hours remaining and 3 parks to go, he can't spend more than 7 1/2 hours at the park. This means that the answer will have to be less than or equal to. Finally, it would be D because he can spend any amount of time at the other 3 parks (x) plus the 1 12 hours he already spent.
