Answer:

False

Explanation:

7 1/2 minus 1.5 is actually 6. 6 is not smaller than 5, so it makes this false.

Ok we need to substitute x as 1.5

7 1/2-1.5<5

So now we make 7 1/2 as an improper fraction and it would become 15/2 so then you rewrite the equation. Convert 1.5 as 3/2

15/2-3/2<5

It’s supposed to be 6 so therefore the highlight of this inequality is false.
