Answer:

705/100 grams cann be covered by the basic postage

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Basic Postage

[tex]Weight < 7.5g[/tex]

Heavy letters

[tex]Weight \ge 7.5g[/tex]

Required

Can [tex]705/100[/tex] be covered in basic postage?

We have:

[tex]Weight = 705/100\ g[/tex]

[tex]Weight = 7.05\ g[/tex]

By comparing the above with the range of basic postage ---- [tex]Weight < 7.5g[/tex]

We have:

[tex]7.05g < 7.5g[/tex]

Since the above inequality is true, then the letter can be covered
