Place an < or an > symbol in the box to make a true statement. See Example 5.
a. 410____ 609
b. 3,206 ___ 3,231
Example 5
Place an < or an > symbol in the box to make a true statement:
a. 3 7 b. 18 16
Strategy To pick the correct inequality symbol to place between a pair of numbers, we need to determine the position of each number on the number line.
Why For any two numbers on a number line, the number to the left is the smaller number and the number to the right is the larger number.
Solution
a. Since 3 is to the left of 7 on the number line, we have 3 < 7.
b. Since 18 is to the right of 16 on the number line, we have 18 > 16.
