A yellow hot-air balloon is 120 feet off the ground and is rising at a rate of 8 feet per minute. An orange hot-air balloon is 160 feet off the ground and rising at a rate of 6 feet per minute. After how long will the yellow balloon be higher than the orange balloon?

Which inequality could be used to solve the problem above?

• 120 + 8x > 160 + 6x

• 120 + 8x < 160 + 6x

• 120x + 8 > 160x + 6

• 120x + 8 < 160x + 6

A blue model rocket is launched from a platform that is 180 feet above the ground and is ascending at a rate of 12 feet per second. A green rocket is launched from a platform that is 240 feet above the ground and is ascending at a rate of 9 feet per second. After how long will the blue rocket be higher than the green rocket?

Which inequality could be used to solve the problem above?

• 180 + 12x > 240 + 9x

• 180 + 12x < 240 + 9x

• 180x +12 > 240x + 9

• 180x + 12 < 240x + 9

A large water tank holds 140 gallons and is leaking at a rate of 10 gallons per hour. A smaller tank holds 112 gallons and is leaking at a rate of 8 gallons per hour. After how many hours will there be less water in the larger tank than in the smaller tank?

Which inequality could be used to solve the problem above?

• 140 - 10h < 112 - 8h

• 140 - 10h > 112 - 8h

• 10h + 140 < 8h + 112

• 10h + 140 > 8h + 112
