Question

Which statement about the solution of the inequality k < -3 1/4 is true?

a) The number 7.1 is not a solution because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 7.1 on the number line.
b) The number 0.9 is not a solution because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 0.9 on the number line.
c) The number -3 is a solution to the inequality because -3 is located to the left of -3 1/4 on the number line.
d) The number -8.4 is the solution to the inequality because -8.4 is located to the left of -3 1/4 on a number line.

Answer 1

The number 0.9 is not a solution because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 0.9 on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

b. The number 0.9 is not a solution because -3 1/4 is located to the right of 0.9 on the number line.

To determine if a number is a solution to the inequality, we compare it to -3 1/4.

Since -3 1/4 is located to the left of 0.9 on the number line, 0.9 is not a solution to the inequality.
