Inez stretched for 19 mins before jogging on a trail. It took her 5 minutes to run each lap around the trail. Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of laps, l, and time, t.

Question

1 lap= 15 min
2 lap = 30 min
3 lap=45 min
4 lap = 60 min

Answer 1

t = 19+ 15 L

I think your teacher will want the 19 included in the total time.

If not, then t = 15L
