Question

In the inequality $x<y$, we can say that $x$ is $y$ and $y$ is $x$.

• A. above/greater than
• B. fewer than/less than
• C. equal to
• D. above or below

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

fewer than/less than

Trick: The number on whose side, inequality sign is big, is greater than the other compared number.

Example: $50<55$, here inequality sign is big on the side of 55, so 55 is greater than 50.
