multiply or divide. Then compare using <,>, or =
10(-1/2) ? 20÷4
can some on do it 4 me please
10(-1/2) = -5
20÷4 = 5
What do you think?
10(-1/2) ? 20÷4
mm is it > ??
Is -5 greater than + 5?
oww ...so its < cazz i'm kind of confusee about this two <>
< = less than
> = more than
One way of remembering --
10 > 6
The ten is bigger so it's going to gobble up the 6.
Sure! I can help you with that.
To compare the expressions 10(-1/2) and 20÷4, we need to evaluate both expressions.
Let's start with 10(-1/2):
10(-1/2) means multiplying 10 by -1/2.
To do this, multiply the numerator (10) by -1 and keep the denominator (2) the same:
10 * (-1) = -10
So, 10(-1/2) = -10.
Now let's move on to 20÷4:
20÷4 means dividing 20 by 4.
To perform this division, simply divide the numerator (20) by the denominator (4):
20 ÷ 4 = 5
So, 20÷4 = 5.
Now that we have evaluated both expressions, we can compare them using <, >, or =.
Is -10 less than, greater than, or equal to 5?
To compare, we can use the < symbol for less than, the > symbol for greater than, or the = symbol for equal to.
In this case, since -10 is less than 5, we can write:
10(-1/2) < 20÷4
Therefore, 10(-1/2) is less than 20÷4.
