Beth finished a race in 4.59 minutes. Ana finished the race in 0.7 minutes less than Beth. Fran finished the race in 1.05 minutes less than Ana. How many minutes did it take Fran to finish the race?

2.84 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the less time of Ana from the intial (Beth) then subtract the amount less of Fran

4.59 - 0.7 = 3.89 minutes

3.89-1.05 = 2.84 minutes

y < -3

step-by-step explanation:

-3y - 2 > 7

-3y -2 + 2 > 7+2

-3y > 9

-3y/-3 < 9/-3   (change the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number)

y < -3
