Convert the mixed number (3 1/2) to an improper fraction (7\2)

7/2 ≥ 1.4x

Swap the sides of the inequality and flip the inequality sign

1.4x ≤ 7/2

Divide both sides of the inequality by 1.4

Thus, x ≤ 5/2 is rhe answer.

Answer:

x ≤ 2 1/2 (Option 2)

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 2, which gives us 7 ≥ 2.8x. Swap the sides so all variables on on the left. Divide both sides by 2.8, which gives us the fraction 7/2.8. Multiply both numbers by 10 to get 70/28. Reduce to lowest terms.
