Grilling corn on the cob takes longer than grilling halved tomatoes.
Write an inequality to represent the amount of time Malik grills corn on the cob (c), and explain how to represent the inequality on a number line.
The inequality to represent the amount of time Malik grills corn on the cob (c) compared to the time he grills halved tomatoes (t) is c > t.
To represent this inequality on a number line, we plot two points on the line, one representing the time it takes to grill corn (c) and the other representing the time it takes to grill tomatoes (t). Then, draw an arrow pointing to the right from the tomato point to indicate that the time for corn is greater than the time for tomatoes. This arrow shows the range of values for corn grilling time that are greater than the tomato grilling time.
