John charges $15 plus $5 per hour to mow yards. Joe charges $9 per hour plus $5 to mow yards. Joe wrote an inequality to show how many hours he would have to mow to make more money than John. He wrote: 15+5h<9+5h What is wrong with his inequality sentence?

Answer: The hours

Explanation:

He needs to change the hours to 9 hours or more since $15 x 5 is $75 & $9 x 5 is $45. If Joe changes his hours to 9, then $9 x 9 is $81
