Question

How should you interpret a < b?

A. a is greater than b, or b is less than a
B. a is less than b, or b is greater than a
C. a is greater than or equal to b, or b is less than or equal to a
D. a is less than or equal to b, or b is greater than or equal to a

Answer 1

a < b

the < means that the first letter is less than the second letter. So this equation is saying a is less than b.

If a is less than b, that also means that b is greater than a.

The correct answer would be B.
