Answer:

a. 0

Explanation:

Which values from the set {0, 12, 2.5, 4} make the inequality 8g < 4 true?

Our inequality:

8g < 4

Substitute each values from the set {0, 12, 2.5, 4} for g, to find which value makes the inequality true.

For 0:

8g < 4

8(0) < 4

0 < 4

This statemen is true, because 0 is less than 4

For 12:

8g < 4

8(12) < 4

96 < 4

This statemen is false, because 96 is NOT less than 4

For 2.5:

8g < 4

8(2.5) < 4

20 < 4

This statemen is false, because 20 is NOT less than 4

For 4:

8g < 4

8(4) < 4

32 < 4

This statemen is false, because 32 is NOT less than 4

Hope this helps!
