Question

Complete the inequality statement with the symbol that makes it true.

1.67 ___ 16.7

>
<
=

Answer 1

Good morning, the answer should be "<", as of the number is bigger. (1 < 16)

Answer 2

The symbol in the blank space would be '<'

Explanation:

Since, in inequality,

'>' = greater than,

'<' = less than,

'≥' = greater than equal to,

'≤' = less than equal to,

Now, 1.67 × 10 = 16.7

⇒ 16.7 is 10 times of 1.67,

That is,

1.67 is less than 16.7

⇒ 1.67 < 16.7

Hence, THIRD option is correct.
