Question

The sun of 11 and 3/4 of a number is less than 112. What are all the possible values of the number? Write an inequality that could be used to solve this problem.

(Write numbers as fractions rather than decimals. Do not solve the inequality)

Answer 1

Let the unknown number be represented as \( x \). According to the problem, the sun of \( 11 \) and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the number \( x \) is less than \( 112 \).

This can be expressed as an inequality:
\[
11 + \frac{3}{4}x < 112
\]

This inequality represents the possible values of the number \( x \).
