Explanation:

Answer 2

A -> E

B -> D

C -> F

Explanation:

In all cases, we represent minutes that Christopher has read with variable x

Christopher has read for more than 32 minutes corresponds with the inequality: x > 32 ."More than" is equivalent to "greater than", which is symbolized by ">".

Christopher has read for less than 32 minutes, corresponds with the inequality: x < 32 . "Less than" symbolized by "<".

Christopher has read for 32 minutes corresponds with the equality: X = 32. Here the amount of time is fixed, so it agrees with an equality instead of an inequality.
