You can create an algebraic expression such as, 3 < x < 4.
This is called an Inequality Statement.
It tells you that the value of x is greater than 3 and less than 4.
The open end of the sign is where the greater value number/quantity is placed and the apex is where the lesser value number/quantity is put.
x > 3.....x is greater than 3, consequently 3 is less than x..... 3 < x
x < 7.....x is less than 7, consequently 7 is greater than x......7 > x.
The analogy with the equals sign is that we can write, x = 5 or 5 = x. The two equations mean the same thing.

yes
Let n be the number between 4 and 7 then the required expression is written:- 4 < n < 7 The symbol used is a "less than" symbol and the expression is 4 is less than n which is less than 7. When the arrowhead points to the right > then this is called a "greater than" symbol and we could put n > 4 and 7 > n.
2.3
The greater than or equal to symbol is put between two numbers, where the number on the left of the symbol is "greater than or equal to" the number on the right. That just means the number to the left is either bigger than the number on the right or it's equal to, or the same as, the number to the right. This is mostly used when you don't know exactly what the number on the left is, but you know it's larger or equal to the number on the left.

Decimal point, giving 1.2
its called an inequality
when a symbol such as <or> is placed between two expressions
yes
It is: 2<3 which means the numbers are greater than 2 but less than 3 as for example 2.5
when a symbol such as <or> is placed between two expressions
put a . 5.9 is bigger than 5 and smaller than 9
Let n be the number between 4 and 7 then the required expression is written:- 4 < n < 7 The symbol used is a "less than" symbol and the expression is 4 is less than n which is less than 7. When the arrowhead points to the right > then this is called a "greater than" symbol and we could put n > 4 and 7 > n.
