Question

Use the image to answer the question. Write an inequality that shows the relation of the number of pets in the Jackson family to the number of pets in the Chang family. Which family has fewer pets? Use the number line to see the relative position of the two numbers of pets modeled. (1 point) Responses 1 > 4. The Jacksons have fewer pets. 1 is greater than 4 . The Jacksons have fewer pets. 4 > 1. The Changs have fewer pets. 4 is greater than 1 . The Changs have fewer pets. 1 < 4. The Changs have fewer pets. 1 is less than 4 . The Changs have fewer pets. 1 < 4. The Jacksons have fewer pets. 1 is less than 4 . The Jacksons have fewer pets.

Answer 1

To write an inequality that shows the relation of the number of pets in the Jackson family to the number of pets in the Chang family, we would state that the number of pets in the Jackson family (1 pet) is less than the number of pets in the Chang family (4 pets).

The inequality would be:

1 < 4

Based on this inequality, the Jacksons have fewer pets than the Changs.

So, the correct response is:
1 < 4. The Jacksons have fewer pets.
