Answer:

No, Lance's thinking is wrong because you cannot compare decimal numbers with alphabetizing words. For example, if we compare 37.6 to 7.42 using the method of Lance, we would probably say 37.6 is less than 7.42 because 3 is less than 7. But it is wrong. The 3 in 37.6 is in the tens place. On the other hand, 7.42 contains no tense. Therefore, 37.6 is actually higher.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of blue beads and g the number of green beads that Giovanni can use for a belt.

He's supposed to use a total of between 70 and 74 beads, so

70 ≤ b + g ≤ 74

The ratio of green beads to blue beads is g/b, and this ratio has to be between 1.4 and 1.6, so

1.4 ≤ g/b ≤ 1.6

For completeness, Giovanni must use at least one of either bead color, so it sort of goes without saying that this system must also include the conditions

b ≥ 0

g ≥ 0

(These conditions "go without saying" because they are implied by the others. g/b is a positive number, so either both b and g are positive, or they're both negative. But they must both be positive, because otherwise b + g would be negative. I would argue for including them, though.)
