"more than" means "greater than". 100 is greater than 1 because it's a bigger number. 0 is greater than -3 because 0 is a greater number.

It means that when you subtract a smaller number from a larger number the answer is positive by that amount, or more than. For example 7 -4 = 3; 7 is 3 more than 4.

Many teachers in the early math years may not be doing enough to help students understand what variables are, and how English-language statements can be made into math expressions and equations.

How many sheets of plywood to cover a 13by14ft floor?

Math problem or Real life would make a difference in the answer. In real life you have to "break the joints" on the floor joists, in a math problem, not so much. Plywood almost universally assumes 4'X8' sheets so 4X8=X sq/feet/per sheet Hint more than 30 sq feet less than 36 13' X 14'= Y sq/feet for the room hint more than 180, less than 186 so looks like the formula will be room size divided by sq feet per sheet Y/X= Answer more than 5 less that 8 sheets, if you are answering in whole sheets round up if not it does have a decimal.

What does the math term greater than mean?

"Greater than" is the same as "Bigger than". In math, it really refers to where a number is located on the Number Line. If you have two numbers that are NOT equal and you see where they are on the number line, then the BIGGER of the two numbers, the one to the RIGHT, is greater than the other. 10 is greater than 2, for example. 10 is greater than 0, and 10 is also greater than -114.
