Cory finished the 40 mile bicycle race in 1.8 hours. Lamar finished before Cory. Write the inequality that describes Lamar's speed for the race. Let x=Lamar's speed. Round your answer to tenths and type your answer with no spaces.

Question

anonymous · Answer

Cory's speed = (d)istance / (t)ime = n

Lamar's speed = x > n

To find Cory's speed, fill in the distance and the time in the above formula.  Simplify.  That will be "n".

im still unsure on how to find the inequality

anonymous · Answer

Since Lamar finished before Cory, his speed is greater since he finished with taking less time.  The denominator for Lamar's speed, which is time, is smaller than the corresponding time for Cory.  Since Lamar's denominator is smaller, the speed is greater. @kidkush24
