Answer 1

The inequality represents the sentence below is that the p minus 1. 4 greater-than 9.

What is the inequality equation?

Inequality equation is the equation in which the two expressions are compared with greater than, less than or other inequality signs.

Given that the difference of a number and one and four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths.

Before solving it, first let's discuss the tenth and hundredths,

• Tenth is written as the fractional part of the number 10. The value of one tenth is equal to 1/10 or 0.1.
• Hundredths is written as the fractional part of the number 100. The value of one hundredth is equal to 1/100 or 0.01.

Here, the sentence given that the difference of a number and one and four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths.

One and four tenths can be written as,

$1\dfrac{4}{10}$

Nine and seventy-eight hundredths can be written as,

$9\dfrac{78}{100}$

Let suppose the number is p. This difference of this number and one four tenths is more than nine and seventy-eight hundredths. Thus,

$p-1\dfrac{4}{10} > 9\dfrac{78}{100}\\p-\dfrac{14}{10} > \dfrac{978}{100}\\p-1.4 > 9.78$

Hence, the inequality represents the sentence below is that the p minus 1. 4 greater-than 9.
