Question 1034659: Emma is training for a 10-kilometer race. She wants to beat her last 10-kilometer time, which was 1 hour 10 minutes. Emma has already run for 55 minutes. Which inequality can be used to find how much longer she can run and still beat her previous time? (1 hr = 60 min)

Let us call t the amount of time she can run for and still beat her old time...then we write (remembering that 1 hr 10 min = 70 min)
55 + t < 70
