Answer: Choice D
b greater-than 3 and StartFraction 2 over 15 EndFraction
In other words,
b > 3 & 2/15
or
========================================================
Explanation:
Let's convert the mixed number 2 & 3/5 into an improper fraction.
We'll use the rule
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
In this case, a = 2, b = 3, c = 5
So,
a & b/c = (a*c + b)/c
2 & 3/5 = (2*5 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = (10 + 3)/5
2 & 3/5 = 13/5
The inequality 
is the same as 
---------------------
Let's multiply both sides by 15 to clear out the fractions
---------------------
Now isolate the variable b
Side note: Another way to go from 47/15 to 3 & 2/15 is to notice how
47/15 = 3 remainder 2
The 3 is the whole part while 2 helps form the fractional part. The denominator stays at 15 the whole time.
This is an example of The Distributive Property.
We can tell this because the number on the outside of the parenthesis on the left side has been distributed to each number inside on the right. You do this by multiplying each number by the number on the outside.

Answer:
x = 6.6; DE = 16.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Assume the diagram is like the figure below.
1. Calculate the value of x
In a right triangle, the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the triangle into two similar triangles.
Thus, ∆CDF ~ ∆FDE, and
2. Calculate the length of DE
DE = 2x + 3 = 2(6.6) + 3 = 13.2 + 3 = 16.2
Answer: infinitely many solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok, our equation is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = b - 3.1*b + 5.3
now, simplifyng the right side, we have:
b - 3.1*b + 5.3 = (1 - 3.1)*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
Then our initial expression is:
-2.1*b + 5.3 = -2.1*b + 5.3
So in both sides of the equality we have the exact same thing, so this is a trivial equality.
This means that the equality will remain true for any value of b, which means that we have infinitely many solutions.
