Question

Tessa said that the combined length of all 5 of her fingers on one hand should be less that 5 times the index finger. Tessa had the second shortest index finger. The combined length of all 5 of her fingers is less then what length? Show how you solved

Answer 1

Answer: 5F < 5( X + x )

Step-by-step explanation:

Let each finger = F and

The index finger = X

The shortest index finger = x

the combined length of all 5 of her fingers on one hand should be less than 5 times the length of index finger

From the statement above, we get

5F < 5X

Tessa add the second shortest index finger.

That is

5F < 5( X +x)
