Jake has a goal of riding his bike at least 60 miles. He rides at a rate of 12 miles per hour. Which inequality can Jake use to find h, the number of hours he should ride in order to meet or exceed his goal?

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]12h\geq 60[/tex], [tex]h\geq 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Jake [tex]=12[/tex] miles per hour

Let [tex]h[/tex] denotes the number of hours he should ride in order to meet or exceed his goal.

Distance travelled by Jake = Speed × Time = [tex]12h[/tex]

Jake has a goal of riding his bike at least 60 miles.

Therefore,

[tex]12h\geq 60[/tex]

[tex]h\geq \frac{60}{12} \\\\h\geq 5[/tex]
