Answer 2

How would I write that out, im really confused.

Answer 3

Maybe X<5

Answer 4

Let c = number of CDs.

11c < 60

c < 60/11

c < 5.45

Answer 5

So you can by 5.45 CDs or do i just round it to 5 CDs?

Answer 6

I don't think you want a half a CD.

Yes. You can buy 5 CDs

That's what the equality states. The number of CDs is less than 5.45
