Question

5. Chan is in a running club and needs to run at least 500 miles in a year to

earn the gold level of achievement. He is presently at 220 miles. Which
inequality can be used to determine the additional number of miles he
can run and earn gold?
A.x + 220 < 500
B. x + 220 > 500
C. x + 500 > 220
0 x + 500 < 220

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

He needs to run at least 500 miles, presently at 220 miles. Since x represents the gap between 220 and 500 (or greater), C and D are ruled out. A is incorrect because he needs to run at least 500 miles. So, the answer is B.
