Answer:

x = 5.6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x:8 = 7:2

First, find the relationship between 2 and 7.

2 x 3.5 = 7

Since the ratios are equal, this means:

8 x 3.5 = 5x

Solve algebraically. First simply 8 x 3.5

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 5.6

Solve the given variable: -4/3h < -8/9

Aloiza [94]

Answer: D. $h > \frac{2}{3}$

Solving Steps :

$\frac{ - 4}{3} h < \frac{ - 8}{9}$

Use the of Signs for Multiplication. Multiplying a negative and a positive equals a negative: (-) × (+) = (-)

$= > - \frac{4}{3} h < \frac{ - 8}{9}$
Multiply both sides of the inequality by 3/4

$= > - h < - \frac{2}{3}$
Change the signs on both sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign.

$= > h > \frac{2}{3}$
