Answer: Use the symbol >, to make 3.20 > 3.02
The statement of the question is incomplete.
The complete question is:
"Complete the following equation using <, >, or = 3.20 ___ 3.02"
The answer is: >.
Step-by-step explanation:
< , >, and =, are mathecamatical symbols to compare quantities.
< means less than
> means greater than
= means equal to.
So, you have to compare and decide whether 3.20 is less than, greater than or equal to 3.02.
3.20 is greater than 3.02, so the answer is 3.20 > 3.02
If you have doubts about which of 3.20 and 3.02 is greater, you can decompose both numbers:
3.20 is 3 units and 20 hundreths, while 3.02 is 3 units and 2 hundreths, this is:
3.20 = 320 / 100, and 3.02 = 302 / 100.
Now given that those fractions have the same denominator you can compare the numerators. And, of course, 320 is greater than 302, i.e. 320 > 302
So, using transitivity:
320 > 302 => 320 / 100 > 302 / 100 => 3.20 > 3.02.
