cedric plans to ride his bicycle 2 miles to a park and tthen ride several times around a loop in the park that is 5 miles long . then he'll ride the same way home. He wants to ride a total of at least 19 miles . he enquality 5t+4>19 models this situation , where t is the number of times cedric rides around the loop
solve the enquality . how many times does cedric need to ride around the loop
A 3 or more times
B :At most 3 times
C: At most 4 times
D 4 or more times
5t+4 >19 subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
5t > 15 divide both sides by 5
t>3 Answer A
Actually the equation SHOULD read 5t+4 >= 19 because if he rides EXACTLY 3 loops and to-from the park it would be exactly 19 miles
5t+4 >19 subtract 4 from both sides of the equation
5t > 15 divide both sides by 5
t>3 Answer A
Actually the equation SHOULD read 5t+4 >= 19 because if he rides EXACTLY 3 loops and to-from the park it would be exactly 19 miles
