Question

Joe has 10 marbles. Ken has fewer marbles than Joe. Which inequality represents the

number of marbles m that Ken has?
m
< 10
m
< 10
m = 10
m
> 10

Answer 1

m<10

Explanation:

Inequality is used to show comparison between two values. It helps to determine which is

• Greater than (>),

• Less than (<),

• Equal to(=),

• Not equal to,

• Greater than or equal to,

• Less than or equal to.

• Greater than is used when one value is more than the other.

• Less than is used when a value is less or smaller than another value.

• Equal to is used when both values are the same.

• Not Equal to is used when both values are not the same

Let Ken marbles= m

Remember that Ken's marbles is fewer than Joe's, that is less than Joe's marbles.

The inequality will be

m<10
