Question

The record time for the girls' 50-meter free style swimming competition is 24.49 seconds. Camilla has been training and wants to swim the 50-meter free style in less time. What are some possible times Camilla would have to swim to break the current record? Solve this problem any way you choose.

Answer 1

`x < 24.49`

Explanation:

Given

`Record = 24.49`

Required

Possible time to break the record

Since no option is given to select from. I will answer the question using inequalities

For her to break the record, she must swim at a time less than 24.49.

i.e. 24.48, 24.00, 23, 22.50, etc...

Represent the time with x.

So, the inequality is:

`x < 24.49`
