ok so a week has 7 days so we have to include that in our inequality so it should look something like this  3.5 is less than or equal to 7 tell me is that one of your answer choices?

Answer:
x\leq17.5


Explanation:

Given: The number of days Jonathan ran = 5

The most he ran in 1 day = 3.5 miles

Therefore, the maximum distance he ran in a week=
5*3.5=17.5\ miles

Let x be the distance Jonathan could have rum in a week, such that


x\leq17.5

Hence, the required inequality is
x\leq17.5.
