Question

Ms. Gallegos burns 236 calories while riding her bike each hour. She wants to burn more than 590 calories riding her bike at the same rate.

Which inequality represents all possible values for t, the number of hours Ms. Gallegos must ride her bike to burn more than 590 calories?

Answer 1

T > 2.5

Explaination -

t > 2.5

t < 2.5

t > 0.4

t < 0.4

Here it is given that Gallegos burns 236 calories riding her bike each hour.

She wants to burn more than 590 calories riding her bike at the same rate.

Let the time required = t hours

So

236t > 590

⇒ t > 590/236

⇒ t > 2.5

Therefore, the answer is t > 2.5
