Question

Jorge has 235 baseball cards. If Keith were to double the number of baseball

cards that he has, he would still have fewer than Jorge has.
If b = the number of baseball cards that Keith has, which mathematical
sentence expresses the information above?
O A. 2b< 235
O B. 2b> 235
O c. b/2<235
O D. b/2> 235

Answer 1

A because 2b is b times 2 and 235 is bigger

Answer 2

A:2b<235

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because Keith may have 100 cards for example, he doubles that and gets 200. 200<235. The exponent *b* is an unknown number, but we know it is less than 117.5(half of Jorges cards)
