Question

Beth has already jogged 3 miles. she plans to jog less than 12 miles. which inequality can be used to find the number of miles (m) she has left to jog?

a. m + 3 > 12
b. m - 3 > 12
c. m - 3 < 12
d. m + 3 < 12

Answer 1

Answer: d. m + 3 < 12

HOPE THIS HELPS

Answer 2

So we want to know how to write the inequality for Beth's jogging. The total number of miles Beth plans to jog cant go over 12, and she has already jogged for 3 miles, then she needs to jog for another m miles. This can be written mathematically like: 3 + m < 12. In other words: 3 miles + m miles Beth still plans to jog cant go over 12 miles.
