Fill in the Blanks

Type the correct inequality that would make the statement true.

hint: type in < or >

10 ? 4

Fill in the Blanks

Type the correct inequality that would make the statement true.

hint: type in < or >

-7 ? -2

Greater than (>)

Greater than equal to (>)

Remember GREAT "OR"

Less than ( <)

Less than equal to( <)

Remember LESS "AND"
