Yes. 1.403 is 0.003 more than 1.4 .
They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.
Answer:
The symbols that we will use are:
a > b (a is larger than b)
a < b (a is smaller than b)
a ≥ b (a is larger than or equal to b)
a ≤ b (a is smaller than or equal to b).
1) if x represents the inches of snow, we have:
"More than 4 inches" means that x must be strictly larger than 4 inches, this can be written as:
x > 4 inches.
2) "less than 25 inches" means that x must be strictly smaller than 25 inches, this can be written as:
x < 25 inches.
3) If T represents the temperature
"No more than 8°F" means that the temperature can be smaller than 8°F, or equal to 8°F, then we can write this situation with:
T ≤ 8°F
4) "At least 7°F" means that the temperature can be 7°F or more than that, then we can write this situation as:
T ≥ 7°F
