Answer 1

1)for x > 3 statement (1) is true.

2) for y < 8 statement (2) is true.

Explanation:

Given : two sentences.

1)
`(x)/(3) * 11>11`

2)
`5*(y)/(8)<5`

We have to find for what values of x and y the statement are true.

Consider

1)
`(x)/(3) * 11>11`

We solve for x ,

Divide both side by 11, we get,

`(x)/(3)>1`

Now, multiply both side by 3, we get,

`x>3`

Thus, for x > 3 statement (1) is true.

2)
`5*(y)/(8)<5`

Here, we solve for y ,

Divide both side by 5, we get,

`(y)/(8)<1`

Now, multiply both side by 8, we get,

`y<8`

Thus, for y < 8 statement (2) is true.
