@Bunbun1234321 help again? :) Which inequality models this situation? Juan's time for the 100-meter dash was less than 12.5 seconds. A. t > 12.5 B. t > 13 C. t < 13 D. t < 12.5

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

C.? I think.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. t was LESS than *12.5* it would be D.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

wait I was always taught that its like a mouth and eats up the bigger number... I guess it changed in this grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the smaller side eats the smaller number… for example 1<2

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

yeah that's what I said the bigger eats the bigger and the smaller eats the smaller

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

(samething)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya so "t" representing Juan's is LESS than 12.5 sec. so the less than sign (<) would be pointing towards his number because it is smaller.

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

OH!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get it now?

OpenStudy (rebeccapink6398):

yes thanks lol

Yup! don't worry some times the most simple things are super hard because sometimes we tend to over think things! :D
