Question

Find the largest rational number r for which 5r ≤ 33.

Answer 1

33/5 or 6.6

Explanation:

Well the most 5r can be is 33, since it has the underline under it, so it's less than or equal to.

So set 5r equal to 33

5r = 33

Divide both sides by 33

r = 33/5

You can leave it in this form or convert it to a decimal which is 6.6

Answer 2

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\huge\textbf{Equation: }`

`\mathsf{5r \leq 33}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplifying it:}`

`\mathsf{5r \leq 33}`

`\huge\textbf{Divide \boxed{5} to both sides:}`

`\mathsf{(5r)/(5)\leq (33)/(5)}`

`\huge\textbf{Simplify it:}`

`\mathsf{r \leq (33)/(5)}`

`\mathsf{r \leq 6 (3)/(5)}`

`\mathsf{r \leq 6.60}`

`\huge\textbf{Therefore, your answer should be:}`

`\huge\boxed{\mathsf{r \leq (33)/(5)}}`
