Let l represents the number of levels played. Write an inequality to determine the number of levels you can play in 60 minutes.

Question

You downloaded a video game to your computer. You have a 60-minute free trial of the game. It takes 5 minutes to set up the game and 7 minutes to play each level. You want to find out how many levels you can play for free.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of levels you can play during your 60-minute free trial.

It takes 5 minutes to set up the game and 7 minutes to play each level.

Therefore 5+7x must be less than or equal to 60

7x must be less than or equal to 55

x must be less than or equal to 55/7

x must be less than or equal to 7.86 (rounding off)

So x=7.
