<em><u>An inequality that shows the distance Johnathan could of ran any day this week is:</u></em>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "x" be the distance Johnathan can run any day of this week
Given that,
Johnathan ran 5 days this week. The most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles
Therefore,
Number of days ran = 5
The most he ran in 1 day = 3.5 miles
Thus, the maximum distance he ran in a week is given as:
The maximum distance he ran in a week is 17.5 miles
If we let x be the distance he can run any day of this week then, we get a inequality as:
If we let y be the total distance he can travel in a week then, we may express it as,
