Question

Lourdes plans to jog at least 1.5 miles. Write an inequality and solve an inequality to find x, the number of hours Lourdes will have to jog. She is running at 3.75 mph

Answer 1

1.5 ≤ 3.75x

Explanation:

Given that:

Distance, D to jog is atleast 1.5 miles

D ≥ 1.5 miles

x = number of hours to jog

Jog rate = 3.75 mph

Actual distance covered if jog last for X hours

Actual Distance = speed * time

Actual Distance = 3.75 * x = 3.75x

Hence,

D ≤ Actual distance

1.5 ≤ 3.75x
