what is a situation that can be modeled by x < 7?

Question

This is a 6 grade math question so use simple words please!

Answer 1

Hi Billy!

"<" means less than, so any situation where you have less than 7 of something could be modeled this way. For instance, I have < 7 pets and < 7 siblings.

The opposite of x < 7 is x > 7, because ">" means more than. For instance, I have > 7 books and > 7 plates in my house.

I hope that helps!
