A painter earns $15 per hour. What is the minimum number of hours he must work to earn at least $200? Write an inequality to represent this situation and solve. Show your work.


Would this work?

15h (greaterthan/equalto) 200

15h/15 (greaterthan/equalto) 200/15

h (greaterthan/equalto) 13 1/3

1/3 = 20mins


So the answer would be 13 hours and 20 minutes
