COMPARING NUMBERS

COMPARING NUMBERS:


It is good to know if one number is the same as, or smaller than, or bigger than, another number:





EXAMPLE:

When two values are equal, we use the "equals" sign	example: 2+2 = 4
<	When one value is smaller than another, we can use a "less than" sign.	example: 3 < 5
>	When one value is bigger than another, we can use a "greater than" sign	example: 9 > 6
