Fewer than意思

"Fewer than" is a phrase used to indicate a number that is less than a specified amount or quantity. It is typically used with countable nouns, meaning that the items being referred to can be individually counted. For example:

• "There are fewer than ten apples in the basket."
• "The team has fewer than five players available today."
• "I have fewer than ten dollars in my wallet."

The phrase "fewer than" is used to compare the number of items to a specific number and indicates that the number is below that threshold. It is the opposite of "more than," which is used to indicate a number that is greater than a specified amount.
