Answer: 2

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

A negative number like $\frac{-3}{9}$ is always less than zero. so

$\frac{-3}{9}$ < 0

Which sign makes the statement true

-6

1) ' title=">"/> >
2) <
3) =

Answer: 1

SOLUTION 1 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

4 is greater than 0, so:

4 $\frac{4}{9}$ > $\frac{3}{7}$

SOLUTION 2 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

4 $\frac{4}{9}$ is positive and -6 $\frac{3}{7}$ is negative. A positive number is always greater than a negative number. so :

4 $\frac{4}{9}$ > 6 $\frac{3}{7}$

Which sign makes the statement true

^- 5 ^-5.5

1) <
2) ' title=">"/> >
3) =

Answer: 2

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

5.5 5.2

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

5.5 5.2

.5 is greater than .2 , so:

5.5 > 5.2

SOLUTION 2 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

^-5 ^-5.5

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

Write the numbers with the same number of decimal places.

^-5 ^-5.5
↓
^-5.0 ^-5.5

Remember that when comparing negative numbers,smaller numbers like 5.0 (if you ignore the minus sign) are greater than larger numbers like 5.5 so:

^-5 > ^-5.5

Which sign makes the statement true

1) =
2) <
3) ' title=">"/> >

Answer: 3

SOLUTION 1 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

5 is greater than 0, so:

5 $\frac{3}{6}$ > $\frac{5}{10}$

Which sign makes the statement true

4.7 4.4

1) ' title=">"/> >
2) =
3) <

Answer: 1

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

4.7 4.4

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

4.7 4.4

.7 is greater than .4 , so:

4.7 > 4.4

Which sign makes the statement true

$\frac{-4}{9}$ 0

1) <
2) ' title=">"/> >
3) =

Answer: 1

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

A negative number like $\frac{-4}{9}$ is always less than zero. so

$\frac{-4}{9}$ < 0

Which sign makes the statement true

-6

1) =
2) ' title=">"/> >
3) <

Answer: 2

SOLUTION 1 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

2 is greater than 0, so:

2 $\frac{5}{6}$ > $\frac{3}{9}$

SOLUTION 2 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

2 $\frac{5}{6}$ is positive and -6 $\frac{3}{9}$ is negative. A positive number is always greater than a negative number. so :

2 $\frac{5}{6}$ > 6 $\frac{3}{9}$

Which sign makes the statement true

^- 4 ^-4.4

1) <
2) =
3) ' title=">"/> >

Answer: 3

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

4.4 4.3

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

4.4 4.3

.4 is greater than .3 , so:

4.4 > 4.3

SOLUTION 2 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

^-4 ^-4.4

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

Write the numbers with the same number of decimal places.

^-4 ^-4.4
↓
^-4.0 ^-4.4

Remember that when comparing negative numbers,smaller numbers like 4.0 (if you ignore the minus sign) are greater than larger numbers like 4.4 so:

^-4 > ^-4.4

Which sign makes the statement true

1) =
2) ' title=">"/> >
3) <

Answer: 2

SOLUTION 1 :

Compare the whole-number parts.

8 is greater than 0, so:

8 $\frac{3}{6}$ > $\frac{2}{8}$

10)

Which sign makes the statement true

3.6 3.1

1) =
2) <
3) ' title=">"/> >

Answer: 3

SOLUTION 1 :

Solve:

Compare the whole-number parts.

3.6 3.1

The whole-number parts are the same, so next compare the decimal parts.

3.6 3.1

.6 is greater than .1 , so:

3.6 > 3.1
