Question

1) Jo Anne needs to do a speech in her English class that can't be more than 4 minutes

Answer 1

Answer:

( 0 < y < 23 / 6 ) mins

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

We will define a variable ( x ) as the time it took for Jo Anne to give her speech at home.

The time taken to give her speech must always be less than 4 minutes. We can express this mathematically using an inequality as follows:

                              ( 0 < x < 4 ) minutes

Jo Anne gave her speech which was 10 seconds less than the one she practised at home. We will convert the time in seconds to minutes as follows:

                             $10 s * \frac{min}{60 s} = \frac{1}{6} min$

The time taken by Jo Anne to complete her speech in English class can be represented as:

                             y = x - 1/6

Using the range of time that Jo Anne could take in delivering her speech in the class would be:

                                    0 < x < 4

                            0 - 1/6 < y < 4 - 1/6

                            -1/6 < y < 23 / 6

Since time can not be less than zero. We correct the lower limit to " 0 " as follows:

                              ( 0 < y < 23 / 6 ) mins
