Question

Which values for x make this inequality false?

Answer 1

0.25, 1/4, 0.5, 1/2

Explanation:

The inequality reads x is less than or equal to 1/5

**A good way to remember what the symbols mean is by saying the following:

"If it's coming from the left then it's less than, coming from the right, it's greater than.."

So in order to make this inequality false, we would need to select values that are greater than 1/5.

1/5 in decimal form is 0.20

So we need values that are greater than 0.20

The following values are greater than 0.20 (or 1/5):

0.25, 1/4, 0.5, and 1/2..

2/10 and 0.2 equal 1/5, so they are not the answer

Answer 2

Hey there!

“Which value(s) for x make this inequality false x ≤ 1/5

1/5 = 0.20 (as a decimal) ; 20% (as a percentage)

So, “0.25”, “1/2” , “1/4” , & “0.5” is most likely your answer because 2/10 & 0.20 is EQUIVALENT to 1/5

Answer: “0.25”, “1/2” , “1/4” , & “0.5”

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
