Question

Lucy spent 4 hours babysitting last week. her sister Maria spin blank times as many hours babysitting as Lucy that same week. what are all values for blank Maria babysits more hours then her sister Lucy

Answer 1

Time spent babysitting by Lucy = Tl = 4 hours

Time spent babysitting by Maria = Tm = x * 4 hours

Now we need to determine for what values of x is Tm > Tl

⇒ x * 4 > 4

⇒ x > 1

So for x > 1, Mary spends more time babysitting than Lucy does
