Answer:
D. 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is a possible complete question
For the given expression, which whole number (w) will make the expression true? 5/6 < w/6
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 7
Given the inequality expression:
5/6 < w/6
Cross multiply
5×6 < 6×w
30<6w
Divide both sides by 6
30/6 = 6w/6
5<w
Reciprocate both sides(this will change the sense of the inequality)
1/5>1/w
Cross multiply
w > 5×1
w>5
This shows that the value of w is a value greater than 5 but not 5. According to the option, the only value greater than 5 is 7. Hence the whole number (w) that will make the expression true is 7
