Which of the following number lines represents the inequality given below. x/72<0.3

1 answer

The correct number line would be the one that represents values of x that are less than 0.3 times 72.

The inequality is x/72 < 0.3.

To find the solution on a number line, we can start by finding the value of x that makes the inequality true by multiplying both sides of the inequality by 72:

72(x/72) < 0.3(72)
x < 21.6

So, the solution is x < 21.6.

The number line that represents this solution would be the one where all values to the left of 21.6 are shaded.
