Q. Jake is younger than Sophie. Sophie is 14 years old.Write an inequality that compares Jake's age in years, j, to Sophie's age.
Identify Sophie's Age: Since Sophie is 14 years old, and Jake is younger than Sophie, we can say that Jake's age is less than 14.j < 14
Verify Inequality: Check for any math errors in the inequality.Since Jake is younger than Sophie, and Sophie is 14, the inequality j < 14 correctly represents that Jake's age is less than Sophie's age.
