Question

Lin multiplies 7/8 times a number. The product is less than 7/8. Which could be Lin’s number?

Answer 1

Solution

For this case we can do the following. Let:

x= the number of interest

We can create the following inequality:

7/8 x < 7/8

If we multiply both sides by 8/7 we got:

x <1

Then the number should be less than 1
