Charmaine runs each lap in 8 minutes. She will run more than 11 laps today. What are the possible numbers of minutes she will run today?
Use t for the number of minutes she will run today.
Write your answer as an inequality solved for t .
The number of laps Charmaine will run is given by t/8 (since each lap takes 8 minutes).
We are given that she will run more than 11 laps, so the inequality is t/8 > 11.
Multiplying both sides by 8 gives us t > 88.
Therefore, the possible numbers of minutes Charmaine will run today are t > 88.
