Question

To qualify for the championship a runner must complete the race in less than 55 minutes ....... Use "t" to represent the time in minutes of a runner who qualifies for the championship

Answer 1

The inequality is t < 55

Solution:

Given that, To qualify for the championship a runner must complete the race in less than 55 minutes

Let "t" represent the time in minutes of a runner who qualifies for the championship

Here it is given that the value of t is less than 55 minutes

Therefore, "t" must be less than 55, so that the runner qualifies the championship

This is represented by inequality:

$t$

The above inequality means, that time taken to complete the race must be less than 55 for a runner to qualify

Hence the required inequality is t < 55
