Question

Jamal wrote the inequality x/16 <6 . Which situation best represented by this inequality Helpppppp

Answer 1

Given problem;

   Inequality equation;

               $\frac{x}{16}$   <   6

Before we solve, let us first translate this problem.

It simply states that for what value(s) of x will the expression be less than 6.

To find this value, we can simply carry out the normal mathematical simplification.

Simply multiply both sides by 16 to reduce the fraction;

      16  x ($\frac{x}{16}$)   <  6 x 16

         

 On the left hand side, 16 will cancel out;

                   x <  96

Any value for which x is less than 96 will make the solution of this problem less than 6.

For example, 95;

                       $\frac{95}{16}$  = 5.93

This value is less than 6
