You'll obviously have to convert "million pounds" to "tons."
Hint: 1 ton = 2000 pounds. Create a conversion factor from this and then multiply "3.5 million pounds" by your conversion factor (with "pounds" in the denominator of this factor).
Area = l × w = b
l = 2.5
w = 2.5

Answer:
w < 0.6
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is given an algebraic inequality. These types of inequalities can be solved using similar methods that one uses to solve an algebraic expression, in essence, one uses inverse operations. The only major difference between solving algebraic inequalities and algebraic expressions is that when one divides or multiplies by a negative number, one must remember to flip in the inequality sign to maintain the trueness of the equation. In this case, such a rule will not come into play.
7w - 5 < 1 - 3w
Inverse operations,
7w - 5 < 1 - 3w
+3w +3w
10w - 5 < 1
+5 +5
10w < 6
/10 /10
w < 0.6
The greatest common factor, or GCF, is quite self-explanatory. Between two numbers, you have to find the greatest number that can be divided by both numbers without any remainder. This is useful in solving addition and subtraction operations involving fractions. The technique to do this is to place the numbers to the right. Then, place the factors to the left. I'm gonna show the solution so that you can understand better.
4 | 12 28 24

| 3 7 6

Since all numbers can be divided by 4, you place it on the left side. Then, place the quotients on the next row below. Since, there is no more common factor, it ends with the 2nd row. Then, multiply all the left numbers with the numbers in the very last column.
GCF = 4×3×7×6
GCF = 504
