Question

5xb is less than 5 but greater than 0, what is the value for b?

Answer 1

`0 \ \textless \ 5 * b \ \textless \ 5`

Multiply the 5 and the b to give us 5b:

`0 \ \textless \ 5b \ \textless \ 5`

Divide by 5 through:

`(0)/(5) \ \textless \ (5b)/(5) \ \textless \ (5)/(5)`

Simplify:

`0 \ \textless \ b \ \textless \ 1`



`\boxed { \boxed {\text {Answer: }0 \ \textless \ b \ \textless \ 1 \text { (b must be greater than 0 but less than 1) }}}`
