Question

You want to run 26.2 miles in 3.5 hours or less. What inequality describes the rate, r, you should maintain to meet your goal?

Answer 1

The inequality that describes the rate, r, you should maintain to meet your goal is:

\( r \times 3.5 \leq 26.2 \)

This inequality states that the product of your rate (r) and the time (3.5 hours) should be less than or equal to the total distance of 26.2 miles.
