Question

In each of the statements below, replace the # with <, > or = to make a true statement.
(A) $-12$ #$13$
(B) $\frac{1}{16}$# $0.0625$
(C) $3\frac{1}{2}$# $3\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

• $\left(A\right)$ $-12$ is less than $13$ , so we get $-12<13$
• $\left(B\right)$ $1/16=0.0625$
• $\left(C\right)$ $3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5$ is greater than $3\frac{2}{5}=\frac{17}{5}=3.4$ , So we get $3\frac{1}{2}>3\frac{2}{5}$
