Fill in the boxes between the expressions <, = or > with as require

1.	Fill in the boxes between the expressions <, = or > with as required.i. (9 + 8) [ ] (30 ÷ 2)ii. (16 × 3) (4 × 12)iii. (16 – 5) [ ] (2 × 7)
Answer» i. (9 + 8) [ ] (30 ÷ 2) 9 + 8 = 17, 30 ÷ 2 = 15 17 > 15 Therefore (9 + 8) [ > ] (30 ÷ 2) ii. (16 × 3) (4 × 12) 16 × 3 = 48, 4 × 12 = 48, 48 = 48 Therefore (16 × 3) [ = ] (4 × 12) iii. (16 – 5) [ ] (2 × 7) 16 – 5 = 11, 2 × 7 = 14, 11 < 14 Therefore (16 – 5) [ < ] (2 × 7)

Fill in the boxes between the expressions <, = or > with as required.i. (9 + 8) [ ] (30 ÷ 2)ii. (16 × 3) (4 × 12)iii. (16 – 5) [ ] (2 × 7)

Answer»

i. (9 + 8) [ ] (30 ÷ 2)

9 + 8 = 17,

30 ÷ 2 = 15

17 > 15

Therefore (9 + 8) [ > ] (30 ÷ 2)

ii. (16 × 3) (4 × 12)

16 × 3 = 48,

4 × 12 = 48,

48 = 48

Therefore (16 × 3) [ = ] (4 × 12)

iii. (16 – 5) [ ] (2 × 7)

16 – 5 = 11,

2 × 7 = 14,

11 < 14

Therefore (16 – 5) [ < ] (2 × 7)
