Answer:
x > -99/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I must assume that you meant (-2/5)x -9<9/10.
This inequality has 3 terms. The LCD is 10. Multiply each term by 10 and reduce the result:
10(-2/5)x - 10(9) < 10(9/10), or:
-4x - 90 < 9
Adding 90 to both sides results in:
-4x < 99
Here we must divide by a negative number (that is, by -4). This requires reversing the direction of the inequality sign:
x > -99/4 is the final solution.
From a reliable source, the maximum capacity of a standard bus used as school bus is 72 students. Because the bus that Mr. Tuttle drives is already 3/4 full, only 1/4 of the capacity is unoccupied. With this, the number of the empty seats is calculated by multiplying 72 by 1/4 as shown below.
empty seats = (1/4)(72) = 18
Therefore, the bus could have accommodated 18 more students.
I believe that the quotient of 7/8 divided by 3/4 is 1.6 repeating and 1.6 repeating is 1 and 2/3 as a fraction so that means that the quotient of 7/8 by 3/4 is greater than 7/8. I hope this helped.
