Answer 1

Given the plotted positions where Dmitri is at 2 and Letitia is at 5, we can determine the relationship between the number of their cousins.

The inequality that describes the number of Letitia’s cousins relative to the number of Dmitri’s cousins is:

5 > 2. Letitia has more cousins.

Thus, the correct response is:
**5 > 2. Letitia has more cousins.**
