Question

Four members of a relay team evenly split the distance of a race. Each person ran more than 100 meters. Which inequality can be used to represent d, the total distance the group ran?

Answer 1

The total distance the group ran can be represented by d > 400 m

Answer 2

The total distance the group ran can be represented by d > 400 m

Explanation:

The total distance the group ran can be got by summing up all the individual distances ran by each athlete.

Let the distance the first athlete ran be x

from the question, we know that x >100 m

since all four athletes ran the same distance, the total distance run , d will be four times the distance ran by an athlete.

d > 4 X 100

d > 400 m
