Question

Choose the inequality that represents this situation. During a summer afternoon, the water in the tank was used at a rate of 300 gallons per hour. During the winter the rate was less than half that. How many gallons were used in h hours on February 3rd? A f < ½ x (300 x h)B f ≤ ½ x (300 x h)C ½ x f < (300 x h)D f > ½ x (300 x h)

Answer 1

f < ½ x (300 x h)

f is the number of gallons used

since it was stated that it was less than. we will use the symbol <
