Question
You want to have enough flour to divide into 5 piles. Each pile must measure more than 1.5 cups. The inequality you write is f5>1.5
. Solve the inequality.(1 point)
Responses

f>6.5
f greater than 6.5

f>0.3
f greater than 0.3

f>7.5
f greater than 7.5

f<7.5
f less than 7.5

Answer 1

To solve the inequality \( f \cdot 5 > 1.5 \), you first divide both sides by 5:

\[
f > \frac{1.5}{5}
\]

Now, calculate \( \frac{1.5}{5} \):

\[
\frac{1.5}{5} = 0.3
\]

Thus, the inequality simplifies to:

\[
f > 0.3
\]

So the correct response is:

**f > 0.3** (f greater than 0.3)
