Answer:

Fewer than means that something is less than another thing. For example, the number 2 is fewer than the number 4. There's also this cool symbol that you can use instead of writing the words 'fewer than'. You could say for example 2<4. A fun way to remember which way the symbol points is to imagine it like an alligator, the number 2 is trying to eat the number 4 to grow!

Explanation:

Hope this helps!
