Answer 1

To translate "One thousand is less than a number" into a number, we can divide the sentence in three parts.

One thousand is less than a number

a b c

Let's translate each part:

(a) One thousand

We have to write the equivalent number: 1000.

(b) is less than

The symbol that represents it is <.

(c) a number

Since we do not know this number, let's assume it is x.
