Write an inequality and solve.

Question

Max started a workout program at a local health club. He began with a 45 minute workout and has increased her time by 5 minutes per week. How many weeks should he increase his time if he wants his workout to be no more than one hour?

Answer 1

Let x = the number of weeks, and we know 1 hr = 60 mins.

45+5x<=60 (<= 60 meaning no more than one hour)

5x<=15

x<=3

So the answer is 3 weeks.
