Question Jessica wants to run a mile faster than 8.5 minutes. Which inequality model represents this? $m < 8.5$

Studdy Solution
The arrow on the ray should point towards the smaller numbers, as these represent the times that are faster (less than) 8.5 minutes.
The solution to the problem is the inequality $m < 8.5$, and the graph is a number line with an open circle at 8.5 and a ray extending to the left.
