We need to translate into an inequality the following problem:

What number divided by five is more than 6?

Let's call k the number we are looking for. Then, that "number divided by five" can be translated as:


k/5

Now, "more than" is represented using the symbol ">" (with the opened end turned to the greater amount.

Thus, since the above expression "is more than 6", this can be translated as:

Answer


k/5>6
