Question

: To receive gym credit without taking a gym class. J.T. must complete 75 hours of exercise throughout the semester. J.T. has already completed 50 hours of exercise, and there are 4 weeks remaining in the semester. Assume J.T. plans to complete the same amount of exercise in each of the remaining weeks. ​Write an inequality to represent the scenario. Let h represent the number of hours J.T. has to exercise in each of the remaining weeks. How many hours will J.T. have to exercise each week to receive gym credit? Enter your inequality, answer, and work in the box provided.

Answer 1

H >= 6.25

6.5 hours per week

Explanation:

75-50=25

JT must complete 25 more hours of exercise in 4 weeks. 25/4=6.25. So JT has to exercise 6.5 hours each week.

>= (means greater than or equal to)
