Question

Nicole runs each lap in 4 minutes. She will run more than 24 minutes today. What are the possible numbers of laps she will run today

Answer 1

Answer:

Nicole will run more than 6 laps. It may be 7 or more.

$n\geq 6$

Step-by-step explanation:

Time taken by Nicole to complete one lap = 4 minute

Let the number of laps completed in 24 minutes = n

Then total time taken to cover n laps = 4n

If she runs more than 24 minutes.

Then the inequality will be $4n \geq 24$

Total number of laps completed by Nicole in 24 minutes = $\frac{\text{Total time}}{\text{Time taken to complete one lap}}$

= $\frac{24}{4}$

= 6 laps

So the inequality will be $n\geq 6$

Therefore, she will run more than 6 laps today.

Answer 2

7 or more laps. you can find this by multiplying 6 x 4 & anything above that would work too
