The time Rachel spends running is equal to the product of the time for each lap and the number of laps, which can be represented by the equation 5n > 35, where n is the number of laps.
To solve the inequality for n, we divide both sides by 5 to isolate the variable:
5n/5 > 35/5
n > 7
Therefore, the possible numbers of laps Rachel will run today are greater than 7.
Rachel runs each lap in 5 minutes. She will run more than 35 minutes today. What are the possible numbers of laps she will run today?
Use n for the number of laps she will run today.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for n.
