This one: >
Ex:
3<5
5>3
Make sure that which ever way the wider end is pointing is the direction towards the larger sum.
Ex:
5 + 9 > 3 + 2
3 + 2 < 5 + 9

An alternative "rule"
If you flip the letter L (for Less than) a little, you get the less than sign, <. You would have to flip the letter L all the way over to make it look like >.
The greater than sign is ">" and the less than sign is "<"
The greater than sign points to the right and the less than sign points to the left. 1<2 1<3 1<4
greater than > less than < The small end points to the smaller value.
a number sentence.
-3<6 The inequality sign for less than is <
Less than sign is < Greater than sign is >
The greater than sign is ">" and the less than sign is "<"
the less than sign is > the greater than sign is <
> is the sign for greater than.< is the sign for less than.
First of all, the question should be asked like: What does the greater and less than sign look like? Greater Than Sign - > Less Than Sign - < Equal To Sign - = Your Welcome!
An inequality must have a greater than sign (>) OR a less than sign (<) OR a greater than or equal to sign (≥) OR a less than or equal to sign (≤).
greater than is > and less than 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.
Less than.
Greater than >Less than written on top of =.
The 'greater than' sign is '>'. '<' is the 'less than' sign. If you were to say 'five is greater than 4', you could mathematically present that as '5>4'.
They mean that the expression to the left of the sign is greater than or less than (as appropriate) the expression to the right of the sign.
