In the expression shown w represents a rational number.
5w
What value of w makes the expression equal to a number greater than 5?
To find the value of w that makes the expression 5w greater than 5, we need to set up an inequality and solve for w.
The inequality can be written as:
5w > 5
To isolate w, we can divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
w > 5/5
Simplifying the right side of the inequality:
w > 1
Therefore, any value of w that is greater than 1 will make the expression 5w greater than 5.
To find the value of w that makes the expression 5w greater than 5, we need to set up an inequality and solve for w.
The inequality is:
5w > 5
To solve for w, divide both sides of the inequality by 5:
w > 1
So, any rational number greater than 1 will make the expression 5w greater than 5.
5w > 5
w > 5/5
