The number of additional miles that Sam will run can be represented by t.
The total miles Sam will run can be represented by 17 + t.
Since he will run at least 28 miles this week, we can write the inequality:
17 + t ≥ 28
To solve for t, we can subtract 17 from both sides of the inequality:
t ≥ 28 - 17
t ≥ 11
Therefore, the possible numbers of additional miles Sam will run is t ≥ 11.
Sam will run at least 28 miles this week. So far, he has run 17 miles. What are the possible numbers of additional miles he will run?
Use t for the number of additional miles he will run.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t.
