    While it did use the greater-than symbol, it was arranged unconventionally. The way it's written is "500 is greater than steps per day," meaning don't walk too much, which fits with the rest of the author's theme.

    That’s not how that works, though… It is 100 % what they meant, but not at all how you use greater than/less than signs in text.

          No. Steps/day is the unit. They used the symbol incorrectly

                You do......?

                Let n be the number of steps

                500 > n >= 0
                For example

                  We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.

                    One Chipotle bowl could be two of my meals, just to be fair. That's $12 there. Add a cheeseburger or nuggets on a cheap menu and we are talking about $20 per day. 20 * 30 = $600, so still a lot.

                          If you read it aloud it doesn't sound right, but from a mathematical perspective it's saying the number of steps per day should be less than 500, which I think is the intention of the writer, no?

                              Sure, I might have worded myself a bit clumsily. I meant using them in a conversational way. They’re trying to say “less than 500 steps,” which is very different from “500 is larger than steps per day” in tone.

                              My point was just that in normal speech and writing you would say “less than 500”, which would be written “< 500” if you insisted on using the mathematical sign.

                                Yes that's the intention but they got the order wrong, it would make more sense if it was written as ateps/day < 500

                                          Funny, but I had a seatbelt cutter long before I realized I was a woman.

                                          Wait a minute...
