5 + _____< 15, 19 - _____ < 12, and 27 + _____ > 30... need to find 3 whole numbers that make each of these number sentences true.
I'll get you started.
5 + _9____< 15
Can you do the other two?
um when it asks three whole numbers does that mean all the answers have to be 3 digits?
o nevermind ms.sue i get it now thank u so much for ur help!
Whole numbers mean don't use a fraction!
Does it have to be 3 different numbers or the same one? The number 8 fits into all 3 equations. If not then you can do the math. Take the first equation which is 5 + x < 15
subtract 5 from both sides. Then the equation is x < 10 so you could take any number that is less than 10 and it would make the equation true.
just do it it is not hard it can be three digets but a whole number is a number greater than zero so no fractions
To find three whole numbers that make each of these number sentences true, we can use the process of trial and error. We'll start by substituting different whole numbers into the blanks and see if the resulting expressions are true.
For the first number sentence: 5 + _____ < 15
We need to find a whole number that, when added to 5, results in a value less than 15. Let's try substituting different numbers:
1. If we try 9, we get 5 + 9 = 14 which is less than 15.
2. If we try 7, we get 5 + 7 = 12 which is also less than 15.
Therefore, two possible whole numbers that make the first number sentence true are 9 and 7.
Moving on to the second number sentence: 19 - _____ < 12
Here, we need to find a whole number that, when subtracted from 19, results in a value less than 12. Let's try different numbers:
1. If we try 10, we get 19 - 10 = 9 which is less than 12.
2. If we try 8, we get 19 - 8 = 11 which is also less than 12.
Therefore, two possible whole numbers that make the second number sentence true are 10 and 8.
Finally, for the third number sentence: 27 + _____ > 30
We need to find a whole number that, when added to 27, results in a value greater than 30. Let's try different numbers:
1. If we try 5, we get 27 + 5 = 32 which is greater than 30.
Therefore, one possible whole number that makes the third number sentence true is 5.
In summary, the whole numbers that make each number sentence true are:
1. 5 + 9 < 15 (or 5 + 7 < 15)
Whole number options: 9 or 7
2. 19 - 10 < 12 (or 19 - 8 < 12)
Whole number options: 10 or 8
3. 27 + 5 > 30
Whole number option: 5
