what is the rule for greater than less than sign.

The greater than sign, > , means that whatever is to the left of it is greater than what is to the right of the sign.
The less than sign, < , is just the opposite. Whatever is to the left of the sign is less than what's on the right.
It should be noted that when a number is greater than another, then the greater one is to the 'right' of the other number on the number line, so it's just the opposite of how we read the symbol. That is, a>b if and only if a is to the right of b on the number line. This is sometimes given as the definition of '>' with less than being just the opposite of this: a<b if and only if a is to the left of b on the number line.

3 < 8
5 > 2

One other way to look at it is that the sign always points to the lower number. Take note that the less than sign looks like a crooked L.

To determine the correct usage of the greater than and less than signs, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the two numbers or quantities that you want to compare.

2. Look at the direction of the symbol. The pointed end of the symbol always faces the smaller number or quantity.

3. Compare the numbers or quantities. If the number on the left is larger than the number on the right, use the greater than sign (>):
- For example, 7 > 4 means that 7 is greater than 4.

4. If the number on the left is smaller than the number on the right, use the less than sign (<):
- For example, 2 < 6 means that 2 is less than 6.

5. If you need to determine if two numbers or quantities are equal, use the equal sign (=):
- For example, 3 = 3 means that both numbers are equal.

Remember, the comparison is not only restricted to numerical values. You can also compare variables, expressions, or any other form of quantities using the same logic.
