Insert​ <, >, or​ = to make the statement true.

|1| |-15|

<

The symbols <, >, and = are used to compare two numbers. Based on the given expression, |1| and |-15|, we need to determine the correct symbol to make the statement true.

|1| represents the absolute value of 1, which is equal to 1.
|-15| represents the absolute value of -15, which is also equal to 15.

So, the expression can be rewritten as: 1 | 15

To make the statement true, we can use the < symbol (less than), as 1 is less than 15.

Therefore, the correct symbol to insert in the statement is <: 1 < 15.
