15h ≥ 200; h ≥ 13 and one third
15 h ≥ 200; h ≥ Image with alt text: 13 and one third
15h ≤ 200; h ≤ 13 and one third
15 h ≤ 200; h ≤ Image with alt text: 13 and one third
200h ≥ 15; h ≥ three fourtieths
200 h ≥ 15; h ≥ Image with alt text: three fourtieths
200h ≤ 15; h ≤ three fourtieths
The correct inequality to represent this situation is: 15h ≥ 200.
To solve this inequality, divide both sides by 15 to isolate h: h ≥ 200/15.
Simplifying, we get h ≥ 13 and one third.
Therefore, the minimum number of hours the painter must work to earn at least $200 is 13 and one third hours.
