Note: 1 hr = 60 min\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So if the \"teacher requires that students devote no less than 1 hour a day to their homework assignments\", this means that the number of minutes 'm' a student should spend per day is \"m%3E=60\" (so they should do homework for 60 or more minutes)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now since there are 7 days in a week, this means that you simply multiply 60 by 7 to get \"60%2A7=420\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the inequality becomes \"m%3E=420\" which means that students should spend at least 420 minutes a week doing Spanish homework.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
