FAQs

What do the questions ask you to find?

Each item asks for the greatest or least whole number that makes a given comparison true using “greater than” or “less than” inequalities.

How do you handle questions with word descriptions (game show prize or people thinking)?

Translate the situation into an inequality and then choose the greatest or least whole number that satisfies it exactly.

Is there an answer key included?

Yes. The document provides an “Answer Key” listing the computed whole-number answers for questions 1 through 15.
