Question

miss Samuels is working on a building project she can only use pieces of wood that are less than three 1/4 feet long. write an inequality that shows that represents the relationship between W, any piece of wood Miss Samuel use

Answer 1

This symbol is used to show that the first item is bigger than the second: >.

My dog's weight > my cat's weight.

My cat's age > my dog's age.

Those are inequalities.

 

"Three 1/4 feet" is a strange way of saying a measurement, but ok.

 

The measure of the wood can be any number less than "three 1/4 feet". W is standing in for that number. 

 

"Three 1/4 feet" > W

 

Answer 2

0 <  W < 1/4 ft
