Eduardo earns $8 per hour racking leaves. He must earn a minimum of $72 next month
to attend a game. If h represents the number of hours Eduardo racks leaves, write and
inequality to describe the situation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 h [tex]\geq[/tex] 72   This is the inequality that describes the situation.

The final answer:   h [tex]\geq[/tex] 9

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to have as many working hours "h" as possible to reach $72.

So, we write the amount of money per hour times the number of hours: $8 times h to be larger than or equal to $72

8 h [tex]\geq[/tex] 72

then h [tex]\geq[/tex] 72/8 = 9

h [tex]\geq[/tex] 9

So he needs to work for at least for 9 hours racking leaves to pay for the game.
