Which statement about the solution of the inequality k<-3 1/4 is true?

The number 7.1 is not a solution to the inequality because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 7.1 on the number line.


The number 0.9 is not a solution to the inequality because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 0.9 on the number line.

The number –3 is a solution to the inequality because –3 is located to the left of -3 1/4 on the number line.

The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -3/14 is located to the left of -3 1/4 on the number line.

Answer: Last option

The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of
-3(1)/(4) on the number line.

Explanation:

Note that:
-3(1)/(4) =-3-(1)/(4) =-3.25

The inequality is:


k<-3 (1)/(4)

The inequality is:

This means that the inequality includes all values of the number line that are less than -3.25 or that are to the left of -3.25

__-8.4_________-3.25_-3____0___0.9____________7.1__

Note that the number -8.4 is less than -3.25, because it is to its left on the number line.

Then the correct statement is:

The number -8.4 is a solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of
-3(1)/(4) on the number line.
