Question

The sum of 11 and three-fourths of a number is less than 112. Write an inequality

Answer 1

To write an inequality based on the statement "the sum of 11 and three-fourths of a number is less than 112," we can define the variable \( x \) to represent the number. The expression for three-fourths of the number is \(\frac{3}{4}x\).

Now, we can set up the inequality as follows:

\[
11 + \frac{3}{4}x < 112
\]

This inequality states that when you add 11 to three-fourths of the number \( x \), the result is less than 112.
