To find 9 less than a number b, you would subtract 9 from b. Mathematically, this would be represented as b - 9. For example, if b = 15, then 9 less than b would be 15 - 9, which equals 6.

Let's reverse the question - Is a over b less than a squared over b squared? Answer - Only when a is less than b example 1: a is less than b a = 2 a squared = 4 b = 3 b squared = 9 2 / 3 = .6666 4 / 9 = .444444 2 / 3 is greater than 4 / 9 example 2: a is equal to b a = 2 a squared = 4 b = 2 b squared = 4 2 / 4 = .5 2 / 4 = .5 2 / 4 is equal to 2 / 4 example 3: a is greater than b a = 3 a squared = 9 b = 2 b squared = 4 3 / 2 = 1.5 9 / 4 = 2.25 3 / 2 is less than 9 / 4 - wjs1632 -
a < b < c So, neither a nor b is greater than c.
Only if b is greater than 1 and less than 2 will 12b be greater than 12 and less than 24. If b is 1 or less, 12b will be less than or equal to 12 If b is 2 or more, 12b will be greater than or equal to 24.
