Question

In the expression 5 times y/7 what value of they would make a product grater than five

Answer 1

y > 7, therefore y = 8.

Explanation:

i) It is required to find a value of y such that 5 ×
`(y)/(7)` > 5

ii) Therefore dividing the equation i) by 5 on both sides we get
`(y)/(7)` > 1

iii) Multiplying the equation in ii) by 7 on both sides we get y > 7.

iv) Therefore minimum value of y is 8
