To find out how long it would take Inessa to run 5 laps at the same pace, we can set up a proportion:
3 laps / 10 minutes = 5 laps / x minutes
Cross multiplying, we get:
3x = 10 * 5
Simplifying, we find:
3x = 50
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 16.666
So, it would take Inessa approximately 16 minutes and 40 seconds to run 5 laps at this pace. Therefore, none of the given options are correct.
