< less than > greater than To remember which is which, look at the arrows on the number line. <-------------------------------> -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The less than sign points to the left. That's where the lower numbers are located on the number line. The greater than sign points to the right. That's were the greater numbers are located on the number line. Just remember the arrows on the number line. Another memory aid is to picture the sign as a little fish-it's always eating the bigger number, and you read from left to right.

Is two twelfths greater that two sixths?
Two twelfths is equal to one sixth, and is thus lesser than two sixths.
If there is two positive rational numbers the one with the greater denominator is the lesser?
Not at all.6/11 is greater than 1/3 .Your statement is true if both fractions have the same numerator.
What is the difference between inpuality and equation?
I assume you mean "inequality". An equation has an equal sign; an inequality has one of the inequality signs instead of an equal sign. These signs are: * Greater than * Greater than or equal * Less than * Less than or equal To solve an inequality, the main point to consider is that if you multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you must invert the inequality sign. For example, if you multiply both sides by (-2), a greater-than sign would need to be changed to a less-than sign.
Why can not a complex number lesser or greater than another complex number?
Because a complex number is a two dimensional entity. The concept of less than or greater than, for ordinary numbers, is one-dimensional. It can be applied to the magnitude (absolute value) of a complex number.
Is 165 greater than 11.9?
Put a dollar sign in front of each one, and I'll bet the answer will jump out at you.
