To solve the inequality, we need to calculate the value of each side of the equation:
1 4thx - 3 4th > 5 wholes and 1 4th
1 4thx - 3 4th represents a fraction, which we need to convert into a common denominator. The common denominator is 4, so:
1 4thx - 3 4th = (1/4)x - (3/4) = (1 - 3)/4 = -2/4 = -1/2
So, the inequality becomes:
-1/2 > 5 + 1/4
Now we need to find a common denominator to add the fractions on the right side:
-1/2 > 20/4 + 1/4
Simplifying, we have:
-1/2 > 21/4
Now, we can compare the left side with the right side:
-1/2 is less than 21/4.
Therefore, the inequality -1/2 > 5 wholes and 1 4th is not true.
