Q:

Dolora spends at least 4 hours per week gardening. She spends more time on routine maintenance such as weeding, pruning, and watering than on harvesting vegetables or flowers. She spends at least 1 hour per week harvesting. Which system of inequalities represents Dolora’s weekly gardening time if

Accepted Solution

A:
We are told that Dolora spends at least 1 hour per week harvesting If y represents the number of weekly hours spent on harvesting Then, y ≥ 1   We are also told that Dolora spends more time on routine garden than on harvesting. If x represents the number of weekly hours spent on routine garden maintenance, Then x > y   We are also told that Dolora spends at least 4 hours per week gardening (maintenance and harvesting). Then, x + y ≥ 4     Therefore, Dolora’s weekly gardening time can be represented by this system of inequalities: {x + y ≥ 4 {x > y {y≥1
