The inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week is
The remaining hours of TV Julia can watch this week can be expressed is 3.5 hours
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>Given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television a week
So far this week, she has watched 1.5 hours
To find: number of hours Julia can still watch this week
<em>Let "x" be the number of hours Julia can still watch television this week</em>
"no more than 5" means less than or equal to 5 ( ≤ 5 )
Juila has already watched 1.5 hours. So we can add 1.5 hours and number of hours Julia can still watch television this week which is less than or equal to 5 hours
number of hours Julia can still watch television this week + already watched ≤ Total hours Juila can watch
Thus the above inequality is used to solve how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.
Solving the inequality,
Thus Julia still can watch Television for 3.5 hours
