Problem Description:
The task is to compare pairs of numbers using the correct comparison sign: `<` (less than), `=` (equal to), or `>` (greater than). The goal is to fill in the blanks with the appropriate sign for each pair of numbers.
Solution:
Let's solve each comparison step by step:
####
Left Column:
1.
12 ☐ 18
- Compare 12 and 18.
- Since 12 is smaller than 18, the correct sign is `<`.
-
Answer: `<`
2.
16 ☐ 12
- Compare 16 and 12.
- Since 16 is greater than 12, the correct sign is `>`.
-
Answer: `>`
3.
11 ☐ 11
- Compare 11 and 11.
- Since both numbers are equal, the correct sign is `=`.
-
Answer: `=`
4.
15 ☐ 12
- Compare 15 and 12.
- Since 15 is greater than 12, the correct sign is `>`.
-
Answer: `>`
####
Right Column:
5.
19 ☐ 19
- Compare 19 and 19.
- Since both numbers are equal, the correct sign is `=`.
-
Answer: `=`
6.
18 ☐ 14
- Compare 18 and 14.
- Since 18 is greater than 14, the correct sign is `>`.
-
Answer: `>`
7.
18 ☐ 20
- Compare 18 and 20.
- Since 18 is smaller than 20, the correct sign is `<`.
-
Answer: `<`
8.
14 ☐ 15
- Compare 14 and 15.
- Since 14 is smaller than 15, the correct sign is `<`.
-
Answer: `<`
Final Answer:
```
12 < 18
16 > 12
11 = 11
15 > 12
19 = 19
18 > 14
18 < 20
14 < 15
```
Boxed Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
12 < 18 & 19 = 19 \\
16 > 12 & 18 > 14 \\
11 = 11 & 18 < 20 \\
15 > 12 & 14 < 15 \\
\end{array}
}
\]
