Question

5 x / 3 > 5 Fill in the blank with a numerator or denominator to make the number sentence

true.

Answer 1

Any number greater than 3.

Explanation:

If you multiply 5 by any number greater than 3 and then divide it by 3 it will result in a number bigger than 5.

If you multiply the 5 by a number less than three, and then divide it by 3 it will result in a number less than 5 which makes the equation false.

You also can't multiply 5 by 3 and then divide it by 3 because it will make the answer equal to 5. This makes the equation false.

Answer 2

Any number above 4 will make this true.

Explanation:

(5 x 4)/ 3 = 20/3 = 6.67 > 5
