One-half of a number is less than 14. What is this number?

n=number, and it has to be either an equation or inequality.

just write what is asked in an inequality, 
 
                                    n/2<14
 
without more information, an actual result cannot be determined

so the solution is a part of the number-line, infinitely many points, not just one number.

Correct.  
 
              (-inf, 28)
 
pretty much anything less than 28.
You can solve the former inequality by multiplying both sides by 2,
 
                                    n<14/2,     n<28
