TEKS.Math: 5.2B Complete the inequality with \( >,< \), or \( = \). \( 16.5 \backsim \vee 16.45 \) elated content

To complete the inequality, you should compare the two numbers. In this case, \( 16.5 \) is larger than \( 16.45 \), so the inequality should be \( 16.5 > 16.45 \). Remember, when comparing decimals, it's helpful to line up the decimal points and compare each digit in the same position! When working with inequalities, it's important to remember that the symbols indicate the relationship between the values. The symbol \( > \) means "greater than," which is the case here, while \( < \) means "less than," and \( = \) means "equal to." Knowing how to interpret and use these symbols will help you in many math problems!
