Question

Katherine is working two summer jobs, lifeguarding and walking dogs. She can work no more than 14 hours altogether between both jobs in a given week. Write an inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours lifeguarding,

�
l, and the number of hours walking dogs,
�
d, that Katherine can work in a given week

Answer 1

The inequality that would represent the possible values for the number of hours lifeguarding, l, and the number of hours walking dogs, d, that Katherine can work in a given week is:

l + d ≤ 14

This is because the sum of the hours worked in both jobs should not exceed 14 hours.
