Question

Find the least whole number that can make this statement true 15<_*400

Answer 1

The least whole number is the number 1

Explanation:

we have

`15 < (x)400`

Remember that

Whole numbers are positive numbers, including zero, without any decimal or fractional parts [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,...]

so

Solve the inequality for x

Divide both sides by 400

`15/400 < x`

`0.0375 < x`

Rewrite

`x > 0.0375`

therefore

The least whole number is the number 1
