Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

if the number of books Frank has = b, then its thrice is 3b.

and it is still less than Emily books which are 140.

so expression will be 3b < 140.

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 3b < 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of books Frank has = b

The number of books Emily has = 140

Also given that triple of the books of Frank is also fewer than Emily.

Therefore 3b < 140
