Question

jonathan ran 5 days this week. the most he ran in one day was 3.5 miles. write an inequality that shows the distance jonathan could have run any day this week

Answer 1

Let m represent the number of miles this guy runs in a day.
He runs every day, so the minimum number of miles has to be greater than 0.
According to the problem statement, the max number of miles is 3.5 miles or less.

Translate this into a (symbolic) inequality.
