Ellie Boyle · Answer 1

n ≤ 3 67/80

Step-by-step explanation:

The symbolic inequality here is 6n - 4 9/10 ≤ 18 1/8.

or 6n - 4.9 ≤ 18.125.

Adding 4.9 to both sides, we get 6n ≤ 23.025, or n ≤ 3.8375, or

n ≤ 3 67/80

Lynx · Answer 2

x ≤ 3 67/80.

Step-by-step explanation:

No more than is the same as 'less than or equal to (≤).

6x - 4 9/10 ≤ 18 1/8

Solving this

6x ≤ 18 1/8 + 4 9/10

6x ≤ 921/40

Multiplying both sides by 1/6:

x ≤ 921 / 240

x ≤ 307 / 80

x ≤ 3 67/80.
