+2

1) 5,601 2) 6,001

Explanation:

Substitute the question mark with a variable name (x) and solve the inequalities:

1) x : 7 > 800

Multiply both sides by 7: x > 7 * 800 Simlify: x > 5,600

The symbol > means greater than, then you want the least whole number that is greater than 5,600

The least whole number than 5,600 is 5,601. Answer: 5,601.

2) 15 < x:400

Multiply both sides by 400: 400 * 15 < x Simplify: 6,000 < x

The symbol 6,000 which means that you are looking for the least whole number greater than 6,000.

The least whole number greater than 6,000 is 6,001 Answer: 6,001
