Comparing Values and Inequalities

The video tutorial covers writing and interpreting inequality statements involving rational numbers. It begins with an introduction to inequality symbols, followed by examples comparing money amounts, shoe sizes, and rainfall data. The tutorial also includes graphing inequalities on a number line and comparing football yardage losses and textbook costs using integers. The focus is on understanding and applying inequality symbols to various real-world scenarios.

What does the inequality symbol '<' represent?

• Greater than
