Question

Here is an inequality 4y > 1.2 Which value of y from the { -0.5, -0.3, 0.3, .05 } makes the inequality true?

Answer 1

`y = 0.5`

Explanation:

Given

`4y > 1.2`

Required

Which value of y from
`\{ -0.5, -0.3, 0.3, 0.5 \}` makes the inequality true

First, we need to solve the inequality:

`4y > 1.2`

Divide through by 4

`(4y)/(4) > (1.2)/(4)`

`y > (1.2)/(4)`

`y > 0.3`

This means that the value of y that makes the inequality true is greater than 0.3.

From the list:
`\{ -0.5, -0.3, 0.3, 0.5 \}`

Only 0.5 is greater than 0.3.

Hence:

`y = 0.5`
