What is the difference between "less than" and "is less than" ?

less than is saying that the number is less then a number but saying is less than you could be saying that a number is less then a number

Step-by-step explanation:

less than 7 of the cardigans are white

7 is less than 8

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
