Question

Write this word sentence as an inequality. A number y is greater than 1 and is less than or equal to 8 .

Answer 1

1<y≤8

Explanation:

step 1

The number is y and it is greater than one.

The sign for greater than in mathematics is '>'

Therefore, we can write

y>1

And it means 1 is less than y

Less than = <

1<y

Step 2

y is less than or equal to 8. In mathematics, the 'less than or equal to' sign is '≤'

Therefore, we can write

y≤8

Step 3

We then combine these two inequalities

1<y≤8
