Question

You want to arrive at baseball practice before 4:30pm. The drive is 15 minutes. Write the equation or inequality to determine what time should you be leaving your house?

Answer 1

The inequality is:

time to leave < 4:15 pm

Explanation:

In order to arrive before 4:30 pm in the baseball practice the time I leave my house must be less than 4:30 pm minus 15 minutes, therefore the inequality that represents this statement is shown below:

time to leave < 4:30 - 0:15

time to leave < 4:15 pm

The time to leave the house must be less than 4:15 pm.
