Question

Jason is training to run in a marathon. His goal for this week is to run a minimum of 330 miles. So far this week, he has already run 15 miles. Which inequality could be used to determine the number of miles, m, he would need to run each day for 4 more days to achieve his goal?

Answer 1

4m ≥ 330 - 15

Explanation:

Given that :

Target of the week = ≥ 330 miles

Total distance already covered = 15 miles

Number of miles, m required each day for 4 more days

Distance already covered + number of days left * miles (m) ≥ 330 miles

15 miles + 4m ≥ 330 miles

4m ≥ 330 - 15

4m ≥ 315

m ≥ 315 / 4

m ≥ 78. 75 miles
