Fewer than 50

Hi

How many is 'fewer than 50'? Is it between 49 and 40?

Thank you.

Hi, Probably. Maybe. It's a bit vague.

I'm rather with Clive on that. If you are right, then it shouldn't be any difference between "fewer than 50" and "less than 50". I think that the latter describes your "1-49".

I don't understand that. Would you elaborate, please?

"Fewer" implies integer values. If you want to include fractional values, say "less than."

It's exactly what I mean with this inequality: 49.99... is less than 50.
