What do we know?
We don't know how fast they ran, but we do know that Billy was faster
than Alex:
b>a
(Where "b" means how fast Billy was, ">" means "greater than", and "a"
means how fast Alex was)
We call things like that inequalities (because they are not "equal")
They are easy to remember: the "small" end always points to the smaller number,
like this:
BIG small
Age < 15
The small end points to "Age" because the age is smaller than 15.
... Or Equal To!
We can also have inequalities that include "equals", like:
Age ≥ 13
