Answer:
A. Dennis can complete less than 24 questions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the remaining number of questions to be completed. He can complete each of them in 5/2 minutes each; this gives us the expression 5/2x.
He has already spent 10 minutes; this gives us 5/2x+10.
He has less than 70 minutes to spend; this gives us the inequality
5/2x+10<70
Subtract 10 from each side:
5/2x+10-10 < 70-10
5/2x < 60
Divide both sides by 5/2:
5/2x÷5/2 < 60÷5/2
x < 60/1 ÷ 5/2
To divide fractions, flip the second one and multiply:
x < 60/1 × 2/5
x < 120/5
x < 24

Dennis can complete fewer than 24 questions.
