An inequality that shows the distance Johnathan could of ran any day this week is:


x\leq 3.5

Solution:

Let "x" be the distance Johnathan can run any day of this week

Given that,

Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles

Therefore,

Number of days ran = 5

The most he ran in 1 day = 3.5 miles

Thus, the maximum distance he ran in a week is given as:


distance = 5 * 3.5 = 17.5

The maximum distance he ran in a week is 17.5 miles

If we let x be the distance he can run any day of this week then, we get a inequality as:


x\leq 3.5

If we let y be the total distance he can travel in a week then, we may express it as,


y\leq 17.5
