The sign of four.5 and 1/3 a number is equal to at most 38.9 what are all the possible values of the number how would you write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem?
Let's assume the number we are trying to find is represented by x.
The sign of four, which is positive, multiplied by four and one-third, which is (4 + 1/3) or 13/3, is equal to at most 38.9. In equation form, this can be written as:
4(13/3)x ≤ 38.9
To solve for x, we can simplify the inequality:
(4 * 13/3)x ≤ 38.9
(52/3)x ≤ 38.9
Now we divide both sides by (52/3):
x ≤ 38.9 / (52/3)
Simplifying further:
x ≤ 38.9 * (3/52)
x ≤ 2.25
Therefore, all possible values of x that satisfy the given conditions are less than or equal to 2.25.
