Emily has 200 books and Frank were to triple the number of books that he now owns he would still have less than Emily has how do you answer this in a mathematical sentience?

Answer 1

Let ( x ) represent the number of books Frank currently owns. The mathematical representation of the situation is ( 3x < 200 ). This indicates that if Frank triples his current number of books, he will still have fewer than the 200 books that Emily has. To find the maximum number of books Frank can have, we can solve the inequality: ( x < \frac{200}{3} ) or ( x < 66.67 ). Thus, Frank can own a maximum of 66 books.
