Question

12 is less than or equal to 102

Answer 1

12 is less than 102

Explanation:

The options are
`12<102` or
`12=102`

12 cannot be equal to 102 as they are not the same number/quantity.

Therefore, 12 has to be less than 102, as 102 is a larger number.

Another way to think about this is imagining a number line. As you go to the left the numbers get smaller, and to the right the numbers increase. If 12 is to the left of 102 on the number line, then it must be less.
