Find every digit \(d\) from \(0\) through \(9\) that makes each inequality true.
a) \(40d < 250\)
b) \(700d > 4000\)
c) \(90d < 800\)
Hints
- Use nearby multiplication facts to locate the boundary value.
- Check the digits immediately below and above that boundary.
- Pay close attention to whether each inequality uses \(<\) or \(>\).
Solution
1. For a), \(40 \times 6 = 240\) and \(40 \times 7 = 280\). Therefore, the solutions are the digits \(0\) through \(6\).
2. For b), \(700 \times 5 = 3500\) and \(700 \times 6 = 4200\). Therefore, the solutions are \(6, 7, 8\), and \(9\).
3. For c), \(90 \times 8 = 720\) and \(90 \times 9 = 810\). Therefore, the solutions are the digits \(0\) through \(8\).
Answer
a) \(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\)
b) \(6, 7, 8, 9\)
c) \(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\)
