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:
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
