Sometimes it helps to put a number line in front of you. If one number is to the left of the other number on the number line, it's a lower number. If one number is to the right of the other number on the number line, it is greater.
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
4 is a solution of x<-5
FALSE: 4 is not greater than -5
-3 is a solution of y>-2
FALSE: -3 is not greater than -2
y≤3 includes 3 as a possible solution
TRUE: 3 is less than OR EQUAL to 3
Hope this helps! :)
He is wrong. You first need to put it in order before getting the middle. Like so:
22, 36, 48, 60, 84
Now cross out 22, then 84, and so on till you're left with one number (the middle number)
THE ANSWER IS 48
14/15-5/12 = 31/60
31/60 = 0.5166...
