Question

A 2.2 GB game is being downloaded onto your laptop. When you have downloaded half a gigabyte, you notice that your computer has been downloading at a rate of .01GB/min. Write an inequality that represents at least how many minutes (m) it will take to download the whole game.

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.01m +\frac{1}{2} \geq 2.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m be number of minutes it will take to download the whole game.

We are told that computer is downloading at a rate of 0.01 GB per minute and half GB game is already downloaded. So 0.01*m+0.5 will be equal to 2.2 as game size is 2.2 GB.

Let us find the least number of minutes it will take to download the whole game.

$0.01m +\frac{1}{2} \geq 2.2$

$0.01m +0.5\geq 2.2$

$0.01m \geq 2.2-0.5$

$0.01m \geq 1.7$

$m\geq \frac{1.5}{0.01}$

Therefore, $0.01m +\frac{1}{2} \geq 2.2$ is our desired inequality.
