Question

Two volleyball team’s coaches and three of the players’ parents would like to

make speeches during a fundraiser. The fundraiser committee wants the total time for speeches
to be under 30 minutes. Explain how to write an inequality to find the possible average
length of each speech.
Please, and thank you.

Answer 1

Hey there, lets solve this problem together.

Let the variable s = number of speeches


`5s \ \textless \ = 30`


`s \ \textless \ = 30/5`


`s \ \textless \ = 6`

Answer 2

5s < = 30....s = number of speeches
s < = 30/5
s < = 6
