The numbers are compared with the inequality symbols as follows:
a. 3 > -3.
b. 12 < 24.
c. -12 > -24.
d. 5 = - (-5).
e. 7.2 > 7.
f. -7.2 < 7.
g. -1.5 = -3/2.
h. -4/5 > -5/4.
i. -3/5 = -6/10.
j. -2/3 < 1/3.
What are the inequalities?
The inequality symbols used in this problem are defined as follows:
The observations to some items are given as follows:
- c. -12 > -24 -> for negative numbers, the lower the absolute value of the number, the greater it is.
- d. 5 = - (-5) -> applying the parenthesis, we have that: - (-5) = 5, as the negative before the parenthesis changes the sign inside the parenthesis.
- g. -1.5 = -3/2. -> the fraction is converted to decimal dividing the numerator of -3 by the denominator of 2.
