Luis needs to run at least 150 miles in order to go with the cross country team to a summer training camp. He has forty days to pre-train for the camp.

Question

Which inequality can be used to find how many miles Luis must run each day to meet this goal?

40 m ≥ 150
40 m ≤ 150
40 m < 150
40 m > 150

Answer 1

To find how many miles Luis must run each day to meet his goal of at least 150 miles in 40 days, we need to set up the inequality to represent this situation.

Let \( m \) be the number of miles Luis has to run each day. Over 40 days, the total miles he runs will be \( 40m \). To meet the goal of at least 150 miles, we need the inequality:

\[ 40m \geq 150 \]

Thus, the correct inequality is:

40 m ≥ 150
