    Answer:

    1.5x ≤ 60

    Step-by-step explanation:

    He wants to run no more than 60 minutes a day

    No more than means Less than or equal to with the inequality sign of ≤

    Each lap = 1.5 minutes.

    The greatest number of laps Peter could run = x

    Therefore, the inequality that best represents the situation and represents x, the greatest number of laps Peter could run in a day

    1.5 × x ≤ 60 minutes

    = 1.5x ≤ 60

    Solving for x

    1.5x ≤ 60

    x ≤ 60/1.5

    x ≤ 40 laps

    Hence, the Greatest number of laps = x that he can run is 40 laps
