Andre looks at a box of paper clips. He says: “I think the number of paper clips in the box is less than 1,000.”
Lin also looks at the box. She says: “I think the number of paper clips in the box is more than 500.”
Write an inequality to show Andre's statement, using p for the number of paper clips.
Do you think both Lin and Andre would agree that there could be 487 paperclips in the box? Explain your reasoning.
