Complete question :

Which inequality is true if p = 2.8?

3p < 10.2

13.6 ≤ 3.9p

5p > 17.1

8.5 ≥ 2.5p

Answer:

3p < 10.2

8.5 ≥ 2.5p

Explanation:

To obtain the true expression, put p = 2.8 in all the options and choose the true inequality expression :

3(2.8) < 10.2

8.4 < 10.2 ( true)

13.6 ≤ 3.9p

13.6 ≤ 3.9(2.8)

13.6 ≤ 10.92 ( False)

5p > 17.1

5(2.8) > 17.1

14 > 17.1 ( False)

8.5 ≥ 2.5p

8.5 ≥ 2.5(2.8)

8.5 ≥ 7 (True)
