well she needs to complete 75 laps to complete the race so 75 is the upper limit. She has completed at least 68 laps so the lower limit is 68. so the number of laps she could have completed could be from 68 to 75 so the number of laps (x) can be reprented by this inequallity 68 < x < 75

well, I'm not sure if this is correct, it probably isn't, and I'm sorry if it isn't, but i think kayla could have completed 75 laps because there was only 75 laps in the race.

Kayla could have completed between 68 and 75 laps in the marathon, giving her a total of 8 possible complete laps. The laps she could have completed are 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, and 75. Therefore, the answer is a range from 68 to 75 inclusive.
