When working with inequalities you have to remember that:

The symbol "<" indicates that the number on the left is smaller than the number on the right, then, for example:


85<90

This indicates that 85 is less than 90.

The symbol ">" indicates that the number of the left is greater than the number on the right, for example:


70>54

This indicates that 70 is greater than 54.

Now for the given statement:


2<100

"The sign points at the smaller number"

The expression indicates that 2 is less than 100, so the statement is true.
