Answer 1

Answer:

The Mathematical Sentence is 3x < 200.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of books that Emily has = 200

If Frank were to Triple the number of books that he now owns, he would still have fewer than Emily has.

To find: Mathematical Sentence for the given situation

let x be the number of books that Franks owns now.

After triple, Number of books Frank has = 3x

So,

According to the Question,

3x < 200

Therefore, the Mathematical Sentence is 3x < 200.
