Answer: The required inequality would be
(d)/(55)+3.5\leq 8

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Time should be no more than 8 hours in one day.

He already drive for = 3.5 hours

Average rate of driving = 55 miles per hour

So, distance would be


d=speed* time\\\\d=55* t\\\\(d)/(55)=t

So, the required inequality would be


(d)/(55)+3.5\leq 8
