Question

You downloaded a video game to your computer. You have a 60-minute free trial of the game. It takes 5 minutes to set up the game and 7 minutes to play each level. You want to find out how many levels you can play for free. Let l represent the number of levels played. Write an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes.

Answer 1

In 60 minute trial, 5 minutes will be taken to set it up. You will have $60-5=55$ minutes remaining.

Each level requires 7 minutes, so you can play $\frac{55}{7}$ levels.

So you can play max 7 levels for free (8th level can't be completed)

The inequality, thus, can be written as:

$5+7l\leq 60$

ANSWER: $5+7l\leq 60$

Answer 2

Answer:

$5+7l\leq 60$

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for setting up the game = 5 minutes

Time to play each level = 7 minutes

Let  l represent the number of levels played.

So, Time to play l levels = 7l

So, total time = $5+7l$

Now we are required to  Write an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes.

So, the inequality becomes :

$5+7l\leq 60$

Hence an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes is $5+7l\leq 60$
