Heather will run less than 30 miles this week. So far, she has run 12 miles. What are the possible numbers of additional miles she will run?
Use t for the number of additional miles she will run.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for .
write in simplest form
12 + t < 30
To find the possible numbers of additional miles Heather will run, we need to set up an inequality.
We are given that Heather will run less than 30 miles in total. So we can set up the inequality as:
12 + t < 30
To solve for t, we can subtract 12 from both sides of the inequality:
t < 30 - 12
Simplifying, we find:
t < 18
Therefore, the possible numbers of additional miles Heather will run is any value less than 18.
Given that Heather will run less than 30 miles this week, and she has already run 12 miles, we can set up the following inequality:
12 + t < 30
To solve for t, we can subtract 12 from both sides:
t < 30 - 12
Simplifying, we have:
t < 18
Therefore, the possible numbers of additional miles Heather could run are any value less than 18.
