Question

Charlie runs each lap in 6 minutes. He will run at most 66 minutes today. What are the possible numbers of laps he will run today?Use n for the number of laps he will run today.Write your answer as an inequality solved for n.

Answer 1

Charlie runs each lap in 6 minutes, we can expressed the total time as 6n where n is the number of laps.

He will run at most 66 minutes, "at most" means less than or equal.

Forming an inequality will be :

`6n\le66`

Since he won't exceed 66 minutes.

The value of n will be :

`\begin{gathered} n\le(66)/(6) \\ n\le11 \end{gathered}`

The answer is n ≤ 11
