In a litter of 7 kittens, each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces. find all the possible values of the combined weights of the kittens.

Let's use w to symbolize the weight of kittens. Given by the statement "each kitten weighs less than 3.5 ounces" we know that

1*w < 3.5

We can multiply both sides of the inequality by 7 to determine the total weights

7*(1*w) < 7*(3.5)

7*w < 24.5

Since there are 7 kittens, the combined weight of the kittens is 7w, therefore the above expression could be read as "The combined weight of the kittens is less than 24.5 ounces"

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
