Hey there!
• If they were “equal” to each other, the numbers/variables will exactly the same.
• If a number was greater than the other number, you would use this symbol “>”
• If a number was less than the other number, you would use this “<”
Now that we got that information out the way, we can answer the given question.
Since, 54 is greater than 52 by going up 2 spots to your right.
Your answer would be 52 < 54
(Yes, this may get a little confusing but that’s okay because the equation is understood as 52 is LESS THAN 54)
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
