Exercise 5 Page 248

The phrase is longer than divides the sentence into what should be on the left-hand side and what should be on the right-hand side of the inequality.

t>2

Practice makes perfect
Every inequality has an inequality symbol and values or expressions on either side of this symbol. In this exercise, we have the phrase is longer than, so we can identify that the inequality symbol should be >.

The time it takes to get to Grandma's house, t, is longer than 2 hours.
⇓
The time it takes to get to Grandma's house, t > 2 hours

On the left-hand side, we have our variable t. On the right-hand side, we have a constant. Putting these sides together, we have a complete inequality. The timet > 2hours t > 2
