<span>X + 1.5 ≤ 5
X ≤ 3.5
"Julia is allows to watch no more than 5 hours of television"
X ≤ 5
"She has watched 1.5 hours"
X + 1.5 ≤ 5
So the inequality to solve is:
X + 1.5 ≤ 5
Now to solve it, just subtract 1.5 from both sides:
X + 1.5 ≤ 5
X + 1.5 - 1.5 ≤ 5 - 1.5
X ≤ 3.5
So Julia can watch up to 3.5 more hours of TV this week.</span>
First, convert 5 and 24/10 into a mixed fraction:
5 and 24/10 = 74/10
Now, divide 74/10 by 4:
74/10 ÷ 4 = 74/10 × 1/4
= 74/40
= 37/20
= 1 and 17/20
(Remember that dividing requires you to reciprocate 4)
Hope this helps!
