Answer 1

fractions larger than 14 and one-half

decimals larger than 14 and one-half

whole numbers larger than 14 and one-half

Explanation:

Which numbers are solutions to the inequality x greater-than 14 and one-half? Check all that apply.

Given that the inequality is represented by
`x>14(1)/(2)`, i.e. x > 14.5

This inequality represent all the set of real numbers which are greater than 14.5. Whereas numbers including 14.5 and below are not involved. Hence the numbers that are a solution to this inequality are:

fractions larger than 14 and one-half

decimals larger than 14 and one-half

whole numbers larger than 14 and one-half
