Question

Lucy has a goal of walking at least 15 miles she walks at a rate of 5 miles per hour which inequality can Lucy used to find H the number of hours she should walk in order to meet or exceed her goal

Answer 1

5h>15

Explanation:

✓From the question, we were informed that Lucy walks at a rate of 5 miles per hour, this implies that 5 is multiplied by amount of hours (5×1h)= 5h

✓ we need to find the inequality that Lucy can use to find H the number of hours she should walk in order to meet or exceed her goal, To find this as equation, we know that Lucy must walk for at least 15 miles which implies that the (5h) will always be greater than 15 miles. We can put it in equation as

5h>15

NOTE: Inequality provide the relation that exist between two unequal expression. Using notation such as
