Question

Identify the relation between the highlighted numbers.

• A. $9<17$
• B. $9\le 17$
• C. $9>17$
• D. $9\ge 17$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $9<17$

On the number line, we can see that the highlighted numbers are $9$ and $17$.

To find the relationship we have to compare the numbers using place value
Here, 9 has a digit only once place while 17 has a digit at units as well as tens place.

$\therefore 9<17$
