Question

Ivanna runs each lap in 4 minutes. She will run more than 11 laps today. What are the possible numbers of minutes she will runtoday?Use t for the number of minutes she will run today.Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.

Answer 1

So,

Let "t" be the number of minutes she will run today.

Given that she will run more than 11 laps today, then we can set up the inequality:

$\begin{gathered} t>11\cdot4 \\ t>44 \end{gathered}$

This is because 11 laps take 44 minutes to run, and if she will run more than 44 minutes, so t>44.
