Answer:
The inequality to show how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week can be given as:
⇒ [tex]x+1.5\leq 5[/tex]
where [tex]x[/tex] represents he number of hours of television that Julia can still watch this week
On solving for [tex]x[/tex], we get
[tex]x\leq3.5[/tex]
Thus, Julia can still watch no more than 3.5 hours of television this week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Julia is allowed to watch television no more than 5 hours a week.
She has already watched 1.5 hours
To write and solve an inequality to show how many hours of television Julia can still watch this week.
Solution:
Let the number of hours of television that Julia can still watch this week be = [tex]x[/tex]
Number of hours already watched = 1.5
Total number of hours of watching television this week would be given as:
⇒ [tex]x+1.5[/tex]
It is given that Julia is allowed to watch no more than 5 hours of television in a week.
Thus, the inequality can be given as:
⇒ [tex]x+1.5\leq 5[/tex]
Solving for [tex]x[/tex]
Subtracting both sides by 1.5
[tex]x+1.5-1.5\leq 5-1.5[/tex]
[tex]x\leq3.5[/tex]
Thus, Julia can still watch no more than 3.5 hours of television this week.
