To find out how long it would take Inessa to run 5 laps at this pace, we can set up a proportion:
3 laps / 10 minutes = 5 laps / x minutes
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3x = 50
Dividing both sides by 3, we get:
x = 50 / 3
Converting this to a mixed number, we get:
x = 16 2/3 minutes
Therefore, it would take Inessa approximately 16 2/3 minutes to run 5 laps at this pace.
