because one of them is pointing one way and the other the other way
Equations with greater than or less than signs are called inequalities. They express a relationship where one quantity is larger or smaller than another, rather than equal. Common symbols used in inequalities include ">" for greater than, "<" for less than, "≥" for greater than or equal to, and "≤" for less than or equal to.
The same way you can tell with integers.
You might mean an inequality (with 'less than', 'greater than', etc). You might mean an expression.
If the signs of the numerator and denominator are different then the fraction is less than 0 and, therefore, obviously less than one half.If the signs are the same then if the absolute value of the numerator is less than or equal to half the absolute value of the denominator, then the fraction is less than or equal to one half.Algebraically,p/q
"x3" is not an inequality. An inequality will have one of the following signs: less-than, less-than-or-equal, greater-than, greater-than-or-equal. for example: 3x - 5 < 15
Less than < Greater than >
greater than is > less than is <
greater than= > less than= <
They are: > means greater than and < means less than
Greater than: >Less than:
Less than sign is < Greater than sign is >
> <
the less than sign is > the greater than sign is <
If the two sides of the equation are unequal, you need the greater than or the less than sign instead of the equal sign. If the left side is less, use the less than sign. Otherwise, use the greater than sign.
it means the signs you use in math. less than <. greater than >

greater than would be: > less than would be: < Equal would be: =
