Answer: The possible numbers of laps he will run today = 9

Explanation:

Let
n = number of laps he will run today.

Given: Time taken for each lap = 5 minutes

Time taken for
n laps =
5n minutes

If he runs at most 45 minutes, then


5n\leq45

Divide both sides by 5 , we get


n\leq9

Hence, the possible numbers of laps he will run today = 9
