Question

What number could replace x to make a true statement?
2/3 < x/8 < 7/8

Answer 1

x=6

Explanation:

1. get the gcf of 3 and 8

3×8=24

2.the new equation would be this:

16/24<3x/24<21/24

3. the value of x would be 6 because 3×6=18.

3×5=15 wouldnt make sense because it is is smaller than 16.
