To do this, we'll set up a variable. We can use the variable x to signify Darian's remaining miles.
If he wants to run more than 5 miles but has already run 2 3/4, we must set up an inequality:
[tex]x \geq 5-2 \frac{3}{4} \\ x \geq \frac{20}{4} - \frac{11}{4} \\ x \geq \frac{9}{4} \\ x \geq 2 \frac{1}{4} [/tex]
Darian must run greater than or equal to 2 and 1/4 miles.
Hope this helps!
