Translating Operational Rules in Inventory Management

Suppose you are assisting a colleague in translating an inventory rule into a spreadsheet formula. The rule states that the required stock level is 'seven less than four times the number of quarters (q).' Explain the process for recalling and translating this phrase into the algebraic expression 4q - 7. In your response, you must define the mathematical operations associated with the terms 'times' and 'less than,' and explain the specific rule for the order of terms when 'less than' is used.
