Tell what whole number you can substitute for x in the following list so the numbers are ordered from least to greatest. 2/x ,x/6, 70%

Remark
Whole numbers are > 0. 
Your choices are 1 2 3 4 5. 
6 looks good but it won't work. The problem is that x / 6 = 1 if x = 6. Try it and see.

6/6 = 1
70% = 70/100 = 0.70 So whatever you use for x must give a result less than 0.7

So will five work? 5 / 6 = 0.8333. That's still too big. How about 4

4/6  = 2/3 = 0.666666667
 That would work but does it work for 2/x

Yes it does
2/4 = 1/2 which is less than 2/3
Note than 3 will not work (why) nor will 2. 

x = 4 <<<<< answer

I’m pretty sure the * means multiplication. so, if you multiply 5*1, it would equal 5. they are basically are-writing 5x1 as 5*1. so they would be… 5 10152025303540455055
