Question

beth has already jogged 3 miles. she plans to jog less than 12 miles. which inequality can be used to find the number of miles (m) she has left to jog?
a. m + 3 > 12
b. m - 3 > 12
c. m - 3 < 12
d. m + 3 < 12

Answer 1

Hey there!

This situation can be represented by m + 3 < 12. m is the number of additional miles, 3 is the number of miles already ran, and 12 is the total amount of miles that cannot be exceeded. m + 3 must add up to less than 12, hence why < is used instead of >. 

Your answer will be D. Hope this helped you out! :-)
