To find out how long it would take Inessa to run 5 laps at her current pace, we can first find her pace per lap.
Inessa ran 3 laps in 10 minutes, so her pace per lap is:
\[ \frac{10 \text{ minutes}}{3 \text{ laps}} = \frac{10}{3} \text{ minutes per lap} \approx 3.33 \text{ minutes per lap} \]
Now, we need to find the time for 5 laps:
\[ \text{Time for 5 laps} = 5 \text{ laps} \times \frac{10}{3} \text{ minutes per lap} = \frac{50}{3} \text{ minutes} \]
Calculating \(\frac{50}{3}\):
\[ \frac{50}{3} = 16 \frac{2}{3} \text{ minutes} \]
So, it would take Inessa 16 2/3 minutes to run 5 laps.
Therefore, the correct response is:
16 2/3 minutes
