Hello I need to ask a question. This is all new to me as we are just learning this in school.
How would I write an inequality with -197 and -110?
I have never done this before. Can you please help me?
-197 < -110
-197<-110
Think about the number line, and where you would place those numbers. More negative always means less...
Hello Mr. Bobpursley and Ms. Sue are you saying that when -197 is on the number line on the negative side that it would be always less than a number that is before the number -197? Please advise.
Or do you mean the greater the negative number the less it is regarding the number in front of it?
Think of it like owing money. If you owe $197, you'll have less money than if you owe $110.
Hello Ms. Sue that makes sense so -197 is less than -110?
Yes.
Thank you Ms. Sue and Mr. Bobpursley :)
You're welcome.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with writing an inequality using the numbers -197 and -110.
To begin, let's first understand what an inequality is. An inequality is a mathematical expression that compares two values, showing how they are related in terms of lesser than (<), greater than (>), lesser than or equal to (≤), or greater than or equal to (≥).
Now, to write an inequality using -197 and -110, you need to determine the relationship between these two numbers based on their values. Here are a few examples of different types of inequalities you could write:
1. If you wanted to express that -197 is less than -110, you would write: -197 < -110.
This inequality reads as "negative 197 is less than negative 110."
2. If you wanted to express that -197 is less than or equal to -110, you would write: -197 ≤ -110.
This inequality reads as "negative 197 is less than or equal to negative 110."
3. If you wanted to express that -197 is greater than -110, you would write: -197 > -110.
This inequality reads as "negative 197 is greater than negative 110."
4. If you wanted to express that -197 is greater than or equal to -110, you would write: -197 ≥ -110.
This inequality reads as "negative 197 is greater than or equal to negative 110."
By using these inequality symbols (<, >, ≤, ≥), you can compare the values -197 and -110 in different ways depending on the relationship you want to express.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to write an inequality using -197 and -110. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
