If t is less than s and s is less than r what is the relationship between the values t and r?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the browser used by Answers.com for posting questions is incapable of accepting mathematical symbols. This means that we cannot see the mathematically critical parts of the question. We are, therefore unable to determine what exactly the question is about and so cannot give a proper answer to your question. Please edit your question to include words for symbols and resubmit.It is necessary to know what the missing symbols are, because they will determine whether or not the relationship is transitive. If the relation ~ is transitive, then t~s and s~r imply that t~r. However, there are many simple relationships which are non-transitive.For example,

• if t is the additive inverse of s, and s is the additive inverse of r then t is not the additive inverse of r: it is r. Multiplicative inverses behave similarly.
  
• if t is the square of s, and s is the square of r, then t is the fourth power of r. Multiples [ t = 5*s] behave similarly.

Answer 2

t < r
