N=number of tickets
N<8
N5
N<5
N6

Answer 1

N<8

Explanation:

It has to be less than 8

Answer 2

N < 5

Explanation:

"Makayla has $8 to buy tickets at the school fair. each ticket costs $1.50" can be written as $8 = ($1.50/ticket)*N.

Dividing both sides by ($1.50/ticket) results in

$8

---------------------- = 5 1/3 tickets

($1.50/ticket)

or N < 5.
