Exercise 9 Page 149

The number of tickets is a natural number.

Example Solution: 21 raffle tickets
Other Numbers: all natural numbers greater than or equal to 20

Practice makes perfect
We sell no fewer than 20 raffle tickets for a fundraiser. We want to choose a number that represents this situation. A number of tickets is a natural number. This means that we will choose a natural number that is no fewer than 20.

Let's choose 21 raffle tickets. 21 ≥ 20 We know that 21 is no less than 21. This means that 21 raffle tickets is an example of the number of tickets that we sell. To find the other number that can represent the given situation, we can choose any natural number greater than or equal to 20.
