Question

An athlete trains for more than 10 hours over 5 days. If the athlete trains for the same amount of time each day, which inequality represents the number of hours, h, the athlete trains

each day correctly?
O 5h > 10
O 5h 2 10
O 10h > 5
O 10h ≥ 5

Answer 1

The correct inequality representing the number of hours, h, the athlete trains each day is 5h > 10, which indicates that the athlete trains for more than 2 hours each day over the span of 5 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which inequality represents the number of hours, h, the athlete trains each day given that the athlete trains for more than 10 hours over 5 days.

To find the correct inequality, we divide the total training hours by the number of days. Since the athlete trains for the same amount of time each day, we can write the inequality as 5h > 10.

The '5' represents the 5 days, and 'h' is the number of hours the athlete trains each day.

The inequality reads as 'five times the number of hours per day is greater than ten', which means the athlete trains more than 2 hours each day.
