Answer:

a. 6x + 45 < 240

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of minutes Emily should read each day, we can set up an inequality based on the given information:

Total time she needs to read each week = 240 minutes

Time to finish current book = 45 minutes

Remaining time to be divided equally among 6 days = Total time - Time for current book

Remaining time = 240 minutes - 45 minutes = 195 minutes

To find the daily reading time (x), we divide the remaining time by the number of days:

\( \frac{195}{6} = 32.5 \text{ minutes per day} \)

Now, to set up the inequality to find the number of minutes she should read each day:

6x (total reading time for 6 days) + 45 (time for current book) < 240

6x + 45 < 240

Therefore, the correct inequality is:

a. 6x + 45 < 240

Answer:

C.  6x + 45 > 240

Step-by-step explanation:

It will take Emily 45 minutes to finish the current book she is reading. To allocate the remaining time she needs to spend reading equally among the other six days of the week, let x represent the amount of time Emily will read on each of those days. This can be expressed as 6x.

Therefore, the total time (in minutes) Emily will spend reading for the week is the sum:

[tex]\Large\text{$\sf 6x + 45$}[/tex]

Given that Emily needs to read more than 240 minutes each week, then 6x + 45 needs to be more than 240.

The inequality sign that represents more than is ">", so the inequality that would help Emily find the number of minutes she should ready each day (x) is:

[tex]\LARGE\boxed{\boxed{\sf 6x + 45 > 240}}[/tex]
