A number is greater than 8. The same number is less than 10. The inequalities x > 8 and x < 10 represent the situation.

Which best explains the number of possible solutions to the inequality?
O There is one solution because 9 is the only number between 8 and 10.
There are a three solutions because 8, 9, and 10 are possible solutions.
There are a few solutions because there are some fractions and decimals between 8 and 10.
There are infinite solutions because there is always another number between any two numbers.

Answer:

There are infinite solutions because there is always another number between any two numbers.

Explanation:

Pick any number (including decimal) add an extra decimal after the smallest one and then you have a number between them. E.g.

1.234 and 2.987

1.2341, 1.2342, 1.2343, ... are all between them
