Question

Which is the solution to the inequality? 2 3/5

Answer 1

D. b >
`3(2)/(15)`

Explanation:

1. Convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:

`2(3)/(5) =(13)/(5)`

`(13)/(5)` < b -
`(8)/(15)`

2. Isolate b:

`(13)/(5)`+
`(8)/(15)` < b -
`(8)/(15)+(8)/(15)`

`(47)/(15) < b`

3. Convert the improper fraction into a mixed number:

`3(2)/(15)` < b

This can also be written as: b >
`3(2)/(15)`. Thus, the answer is D.
