Question

Nichole needs to spend at least four hours each week practicing the guitar

she already practiced 2 1/3 hours this week she wants to split the remaining practice time evenly between the last 2 days of the week write an inequality to determine the minimum number of hours she needs to practice on each of the 2 days

Answer 1

Answer:

two and one third + 2x ≥ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The number of hours Nicole already practiced with  = $2 \dfrac{1}{3}$

However, she wants to further her practice for 2 days and make sure that each day equal each other

Let consider y be the hours she practiced each day

Then, the number of hours she will practice in two days will be 2y

Thus, the total number of hours she practiced can be computed as

= $2 \dfrac{1}{3}+2$

Suppose Nicole desire to practiced for at least 4 hours,

Then,

$2 \dfrac{1}{3}+2 \ge 4$

Therefore, the required inequality to determine the  minimum number of hours she needs to practice on each of the 2 days suppose she practiced for at least 4 hours a day is:

two and one third + 2x ≥ 4    i.e. $2 \dfrac{1}{3}+2 \ge 4$
