Answer:

5r + 3s ≥ 30

Explanations:

The number of Laps he runs = r

The number of laps he swims = s

Each lap he runs takes 5 minutes

The total time he uses to run = 5r

Each lap he swims takes 3 minutes

The total time he uses to swim = 3s

The total time he uses to do both running and swimming = 5r + 3s

He wants to exercise for more than 30 minutes

The inequality describing this illustration is:

5r + 3s ≥ 30
