Question

tell what whole number you can substitute for x in each list so the numbers are ordered from least to greatest.
a. 2/x, x/22, 33%
b. 1/x, x/8, 33%

Answer 1

you need
2/x < x/22
44 < x^2
so,
6 < x

Now, you need x/22 < 0.33
x < 7.32

So, we have x = 7

2/7 < 7/22 < .33

Do the other in like wise.

Answer 2

x does not equal 7 because on list b 7/8 = 87.50% and therefore is greater than 33%
