Question

Please help me on my math assignment you have to write an inequality that models the combinations of multiple choice and essay questions you could answer during the test without running out of time.

Answer 1

• x + 15y ≤ t

Explanation:

From the table we see that:

• Each multiple choice question takes 1 min and each essay takes 15 min to complete.
• x multiple choice questions will take x min and y essays will take 15y min
• Total time required is x + 15y

If you have t minutes to complete the test then required inequality is:

• x + 15y ≤ t
