So we know the relationships between l and m and between m and n. We need to use them to find the relationship between l and n. We have:


\begin{gathered} l>m \\ m>n \end{gathered}

We can combine both, We know that m is smaller than l and greater than n. If we put all this information in only one expression we get:


l>m>n

So if m is greater than n then any number equal or greater than m is also greater than n. In particular, l is greater than n so the answer is:


l>n
