In the expression shown, q represents a rational number 5q. 5q What value of q makes the expression equal a number less than 5?
A. 6/7
B. 8/7
C. 15/13
D. 15/15
To find the value of q that makes the expression 5q less than 5, we need to solve the inequality 5q < 5.
Dividing both sides of the inequality by 5, we have:
q < 1
Out of the options provided, the only rational number that is less than 1 is option A, 6/7.
Therefore, the value of q that makes the expression equal a number less than 5 is A. 6/7.
