Levon has 45 minutes until he needs to leave for his piano lesson. He spends 27 minutes watching an episode of his favorite TV show. Then he wants to play a game on his tablet. At most, how long can Levon spend playing the game before he need to leave?
Choose the inequality.
A. t + 27 ≥ 45
B. t + 27≤ 45
C. t + 27 > 45
D. t + 27 < 45
B. t + 27 ≤ 45
To figure out how long Levon can spend playing the game before he needs to leave, we need to subtract the time he spends watching the TV show from the total time he has before leaving for his piano lesson.
Let t be the time Levon can spend playing the game.
The time he has before leaving is 45 minutes, and the time spent watching the TV show is 27 minutes.
So the equation becomes:
t = 45 - 27
Simplifying, we get:
t = 18
Therefore, Levon can spend a maximum of 18 minutes playing the game before he needs to leave.
The correct inequality to represent this is:
D. t + 27 < 45
