anonymous · Answer

ignore everything about p you only want to know about n

anonymous · Answer

16n<16
what does this say about n?

anonymous · Answer

does it mean n is zero

anonymous · Answer

16n < 16
You pass 16 to the other side dividing it
n < 16/16
Can you do that now?

anonymous · Answer

< this means anything lower than 
16 n can be true as long as its lower than 16 
keyword anything meaning you can have several values for n

anonymous · Answer

n < 1 @melindaR

anonymous · Answer

that's right, so which option would you choose?

anonymous · Answer

A

anonymous · Answer

but it doesn't say anything about n being > 0

anonymous · Answer

hmmm.  but 16 x .5 does equal 8

anonymous · Answer

how did you do that?

anonymous · Answer

i found out what is less than 1 but more than zero

anonymous · Answer

thats not an equal sign is a lower than sign.
16 x .5 = 8
8<16
this just says 8 is lower than 16

@ash2326 does this make any sense to you?

ash2326 · Answer

@MelindaR  according to the question we have info that n<1 and nothing else is given. So option A would be the possible answer here
