Answer:

Like the other solver, I believe they are correct because I arrived at the same solution:

3/4w <= 225

Multiplying both sides by 4/3 to isolate w:

w >= (225 * 4)/3

w >= 300

Solution is w >= 300. In order to meet the inequality, the value of w must be equal to or larger than 300.

3/4w <= 225
Multiplying both sides by 4/3 to isolate w:
w >= (225 * 4)/3
w >= 300

So, the solution is w >= 300. That means that the number w has to be equal to or greater than 300 in order to satisfy the inequality.
