In the expression shown, w represents a rational number.
5w
What value of w makes the expression equal a number less than 5?
A. 3/4 <<<<
B. 1 1/6
C. 5/5
D. 5/4
dude it did not even give me the answer grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
in the expression shown w represents a rational number what value of w makes the expression equal a number more than 5
To find the value of w that makes the expression 5w less than 5, we need to solve the inequality 5w < 5.
To isolate the variable w, we divide both sides of the inequality by 5, like this:
(5w)/5 < 5/5
This simplifies to:
w < 1
Now we need to find the value of w that is less than 1 from the given options:
A. 3/4: 3/4 is less than 1, so it is a valid answer.
B. 1 1/6: 1 1/6 is greater than 1, so it is not a valid answer.
C. 5/5: 5/5 is equal to 1, so it is not a valid answer.
D. 5/4: 5/4 is greater than 1, so it is not a valid answer.
Out of the given options, only option A (3/4) is less than 1, so the correct answer is A. 3/4.
