Jansen and Mr. Tong are grading quizzes. Mr. Jansen has already graded fifteen quizzes and grades at a rate of about 1 quiz per minute. Mr. Tong has no quizzes graded but grades at a rate of about 2 quizzes per minute.

Write an inequality that shows how long it will take for Mr. Tong to surpass Mr. Jansen in the number of quizzes graded.

Answer :

Final answer:

The inequality is J < 15 and T > 7.

Explanation:

To write an inequality showing the difference between the number of quizzes graded by Mr. Jansen and Mr. Tong, we can use variables to represent the number of quizzes each person has graded. Let's use 'J' to represent the number of quizzes Mr. Jansen has graded and 'T' to represent the number of quizzes Mr. Tong has graded.

The inequality is J < 15 and T > 7.

This inequality states that Mr. Jansen has graded less than 15 quizzes and Mr. Tong has graded more than 7 quizzes.
