It means that three times the value of k is larger than 27 ½. The number could not be 8. Because 24 is less than 27½.

The value of k is equal to any whole number beginning with number10. Hoping to be of help.

well if k equals 8, you'd replace the k in 3k with an 8.
3(8) > 27 1/2
3*8=24 which is less than 27 1/2. so the statement 3k > 27 1/2 is false
