<span>The tortoise crawls the whole 1000 m at 0.2 m/s, therefore, you must divide the distance by the rate of travel to find the time it took to complete the race. This gives us a time of 5,000 seconds to crawl the thousand meters. The hare runs the first 200 meters at 2 m/s, meaning that takes 100 seconds. The last 800 meters divided by the speed of 3 m/s gives us a time of 266 seconds. These two numbers must be added to the hare's rest time, converted from 1.3 hours into seconds by multiplying that number by 60 (for minutes in an hour) then 60 again (for seconds in a minute). 1.3 hours is equal to 4680 seconds. Therefore, the whole race took the hare 5,046 seconds, making it slightly slower than the hare, who finished in 5,000 seconds flat.</span>
You would form this inequality:
52 + 2x < (or equal to) 180
Then, solve as you would in an ordinary equation.
Subtract 52 from both sides of the sign. 180 - 52 = 128.
So, 2x is less than or equal to 128.
Divide 128 into two to get 64.
The height of the frame must be 64 inches.
Answer: 160
