I need help trying to figure out which is < or >. 2/17 ? 0.109 ?

2/17 = 0.11765 from your calculator.

And 0.11765 > 0.109. Do you have trouble knowing which way the arrow is to point? Just remember that the large end of the arrow is on the large number side and the point (small end of the arrow) is on the small number side. Always works. You could have written it as 0.109<0.11765
