The sign that makes the comparison true is '<' (less than).
To determine the sign that makes the comparison true between 3.3 and 3.15, we can use the number line.
Starting at 0 on the number line, we can plot the points 3.3 and 3.15.
Since 3.3 is greater than 3.15, we move to the right on the number line from 3.15 to 3.3.
Therefore, the sign that makes the comparison true is > (greater than).
So, 3.3 > 3.15.
To determine which sign makes the comparison true between 3.3 and 3.15, we can use the number line.
1. Draw a number line with 0 in the middle and label the numbers increasing to the right.
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1
|-----|-----|-----|---|
2. Plot the points 3.3 and 3.15 on the number line.
|-----|-----|-----|---|
-1 -0.5 0 0.5 1
3.15 3.3
3. Comparing the two numbers visually, we can see that 3.15 is closer to 3 on the number line, while 3.3 is further to the right. Therefore, 3.15 is smaller than 3.3.
To express this as a mathematical statement, we can use the less than sign (<), as follows:
3.15 < 3.3
