Well, isn't that just a happy little math problem? If we take 7 away from 2, we end up with -5. It's okay to make mistakes in math, just like it's okay to make "happy accidents" in painting. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it!
7 less than -5 is -2
7 is more than 2.
It is less because 7/2 = 3.5
7 is greater than 2, greater than 3 and less than 8. As expressions: 7 > 2 7 > 3 7 < 8
2 times 3 = 6 which is less than 7 or 1 times 3 = 3 which is less than 7
"9 less than 7" means you are subtracting 9 from 7. In mathematical terms, this expression can be written as 7 - 9, which equals -2. So, 9 less than 7 is -2.

2 yards are 6 feet so it is less than 7 feet
