Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 39PPS

There are less than 63 employees are there in the factory.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

About 2/3 of the employees are less than 42.

Concept Used:

  • To graph the endpoint with strict inequality < or>, use the open parenthesis or a hollow circle at that endpoint.
  • To graph the endpoint with inequality symbol  or, use the bracket or a solid circle at that endpoint.
  • Properties of inequality:
  1. bcabac, if a0
  2. bcabac, if a0

Calculation:

Let the total number of the employees are x, and about 2/3 of the employees are less than 42.

Then from the above information:

  23x<42

Multiply both sides by 3 to the inequality:

  23x<42323x<4232x<126

Divide both sides by 2:

  2x<1262x2<1262x<63

Thus, the inequality is true for xless than 63, thus the solution of given inequality in interval form is:

  x<63

Hence, there are less than 63 employees are there in the factory.
