Question

mai runs each lap in 5 minutes. she will run less than 45 minutes today what are the possible numbers of laps she will run today. write it as a inequality and use n for the number of laps she will run today​

Answer 1

Answer:

The possible number of laps are : $1,2,3,4,5,6,7\ and\ 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Time taken by Mai to run each lap = 5 minutes

Total number of laps =$n$

Tie taken to run $n$ laps = $5n$ minutes.

Mai runs less than 45 minutes.

So, we have  $5n$

We solve for $n$

Dividing both side by 5.

$\frac{5n}{5}$

$n$

Therefore number of laps is less than 9.

So, the possible number of laps are : $1,2,3,4,5,6,7\ and\ 8$
