PLEASE HELP!

The distance to the nearest exit door is less than 100 feet.
Use d to represent the distance (in feet) to the nearest exit door.

The sentence translates to the inequality d < 100

There's not much else to say about this problem. We just simply replace the "less than" wording with its corresponding symbol. We can think of the inequality sign as an alligator mouth that always wants to eat the larger value (so the open ended side is facing toward the larger value).
