Is 0.7 greater than less than equal to 7/9
Less than. 7/9 is 0.77777....
5q ≥ 8q - 3/2
<em><u>Add 3/2 to both sides.</u></em>
3/2 + 5q ≥ 8q
<em><u>Subtract 5q from both sides.</u></em>
3/2 ≥ 3q
<em><u>Multiply both sides by 2.</u></em>
3 ≥ 6q
<em><u>Divide both sides by 6.</u></em>
0.5 ≥ q.
The value of q is less than or equal to 0.5.
