QuestionInsert << or >> in the blank to make the statement true: -0.031 \_ -0.046.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are comparing two negative decimal numbers -0.031 and -0.046. The comparison operators are less than (<) and greater than (>)

STEP 2

We need to understand how negative numbers work. In the number line, a number is less than another if it is to the left of the other number. For negative numbers, a number is less if it is farther from zero.

STEP 3

Now, we compare -0.031 and -0.046. Since -0.046 is farther from zero than -0.031, we can say that -0.046 is less than -0.031.

STEP 4

So, we insert the less than symbol (<) in the blank to make a true statement.
0.031>0.046-0.031 > -0.046The statement "-0.031 is greater than -0.046" is true.
