Question

When the clock first starts counting down time, there are more than 300 seconds before the start of the game. Write an inequality statement that best describes t, the time in seconds, when the clock first starts counting down time.

Answer 1

"When the clock first starts counting down time, there are more than 300 seconds before the start of the game", that means the variable t we will use to represent when the clock first starts counting down time is greater than 300, so we can represent this sentence with the following inequality:

`t>300`

So the inequality statement that best describes t is t > 300.
