Which of the following would be the correct way to describe the set of all times, in minutes, that the chicken can be in the oven? (1) 55 ≤ m ≤ 80 (2) m is any integer (3) {m is any real number | 55 ​

Answer 1

The correct way to describe the set of all times that a roast chicken can be kept in the oven is m is any real number (option 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question concerns the correct way to describe the set of all times, in minutes, that a chicken can be left in the oven according to a given recipe.

To express the range of time that the chicken should be cooked, we use a set notation that includes the minimum and maximum time as specified.

Among the provided options, the correct one is (1) 55 ≤ m ≤ 80.

This means that m represents the cooking time in minutes, and it can be any real number including and between 55 to 80 minutes.
