Let x=length of king cobra
Let y=length of black mamba
x=118
y=x-22
y=118-22
y=96
Therefore black mamba has an average length of 96 inches
Answer:
Any number less than 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number Lin multiplies by 7/8. So, we have:
(7/8)*x < 7/8
We need to find the possible values for x. Lets start by dividing both sides of our inequality by (7/8) in order to get x alone on the left side.
(7/8)*x / (7/8) < (7/8)/(7/8)
Reordering:
(7/8) / (7/8) * x < (7/8)/(7/8)
As any number divided by itself (except from 0) is equal to 1:
x < 1
So, the number that Lin multiplied by 7/8 MUST be less than 1. This is evident, as any positive number multiplied by a number less than 1 will decrease, doesn't matter if its a negative or positive number.
So, such number is less than 1. Any number less than 1 could be Lin's number.
