Frank will run at least 27 miles this week so far he has run 16 miles what are the possible number of additional miles he will run

Question

Use m for number of additional miles he will run and write answer as an inequality solved for m

Answer 1

Inequalities are usually in the form of greater than or equal to or vice versa.

For this problem it says Frank will run at least 27 miles this week. He may run more but he is has a minimum goal of 27 miles.

So for this problem the inequality sign will look ≥

He already ran 16 miles

So the answer is to find m, the number of additional miles he has to run.

16+ m ≥ 27.
