Answer 1

To find out how long it would take Inessa to run 5 laps at the same pace, we can set up a proportion:

3 laps / 10 minutes = 5 laps / x minutes

Cross multiplying, we get:

3x = 10 * 5

Simplifying, we find:

3x = 50

Dividing both sides by 3, we find:

x = 16.666

So, it would take Inessa approximately 16 minutes and 40 seconds to run 5 laps at this pace. Therefore, none of the given options are correct.
