The sum of 11 and three- fourths of a number is less than 112. What are all the possible values of the number? Write an inequality that can be used to solve this problem? Use the letter x as the variable, and write the inequality so that the x comes first. Where necessary, write numbers as fractions rather than decimals. Do not solve the inequality.

Let's call the number "x".

The sum of 11 and three-fourths of x can be written as:
11 + 3/4x

According to the problem, this sum is less than 112.
So the inequality can be written as:
11 + 3/4x < 112

The possible values of x that satisfy this inequality will be the solutions to the problem.
