Question

Jake has a goal of riding his bike at least 60 miles. He rides at a rate of 12 miles per hour. Which inequality can Jake use to find h, the number of hours he should ride in order to meet or exceed his goal?

Answer 1

`12h\geq 60`,
`h\geq 5`

Explanation:

Speed of Jake
`=12` miles per hour

Let
`h` denotes the number of hours he should ride in order to meet or exceed his goal.

Distance travelled by Jake = Speed × Time =
`12h`

Jake has a goal of riding his bike at least 60 miles.

Therefore,

`12h\geq 60`

`h\geq (60)/(12) \\\\h\geq 5`
