Matt practices his violin for at least 12 hours per week. He practices for three fourths of an hour each session. If Matt has already practiced 3 hours this week, what is the least number of sessions he must complete to meet his weekly practice goal? Write and solve an inequality.

Respuesta :

We know that

• He practices 12 hours per week at least.

,

• Each session lasts three-fourths of an hour.

,

• He already practiced 3 hours this week. (There are 9 hours left)

Based on the given information, we can express the following

[tex]3+\frac{3}{4}x\ge12[/tex]

Where x represents the number of sessions he must complete.

Let's solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}x\ge12-3 \\ \frac{3}{4}x\ge9 \\ x\ge\frac{9\cdot4}{3} \\ x\ge\frac{36}{3} \\ x\ge12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

He must have at least 12 sessions to reach his practice goal.
