4h ≤ 25
->h ≤ ...

Oh, okay. That makes sense, but then would h=6 because that is the maximum number, while not being a decimal (hopefully that makes sense XD)?

" What is the maximum number of hours ..."
 I wouldn't post my solution, if it doesn't make sense,:P

anonymous · Answer

So then the question does imply it wants a whole number of hours, correct?

anonymous · Answer

Since the MAX number of hour is less than 7, so yes, h = 6 hrs!

Okie, thanks a lot for clearing that up for me! (I'm a bit clueless at math)
