While on vacation the Ferreira family will be driving 5 hours every day they want to cover at least 240

Question

miles each day the inequality 5s is greater than or equal to 240 expresses the average speed s they must maintain in miles per hour what is the solution of this inequality

s

Answer 1

To solve the inequality 5s ≥ 240, we need to divide both sides of the inequality by 5 to isolate the variable s.

Dividing both sides by 5, we get:

s ≥ 240/5
s ≥ 48

Therefore, the Ferreira family must maintain an average speed of at least 48 miles per hour.
