To answer you must first solve the inequality, do this by dividing both sides by 3. , which simplifies to x > 7. This means that x must be greater than 7 without being 7 because the inequality does not use the "or equal to" sign. Therefore, 8 must be the correct answer because it is the smallest whole number that is larger than 7.
The angle adjacent to the 70 degree angle is also 70 degrees. We assume that there are four 90-degree angles in the center of the figure. Thus, 8x - 36 + 70 + 90 = 180 (the sum of the interior angles is 180 degrees).
If these fractions are expressed with a common denominator, that would be 3×5 = 15. Then the given fractions are 1/3 = 5/15, and 4/5 = 12/15. The numerators 5 and 12 differ by 7, so we can easily choose 5 fractions in that range:
6/15 = 2/5
7/15
8/15
9/15 = 3/5
10/15 = 2/3

There is no requirement for the fractions to be written any particular way or with any particular spacing. The limits in decimal are 1/3 = 0.3333...(repeating) and 4/5 = 0.8. We could choose the decimal fractions ...
