"The Hungry Alligators" math worksheet for comparing numbers using greater than and less than symbols.

Problem Description:

The task involves comparing pairs of numbers using the concepts of "greater than" and "less than." The alligator symbols are used to indicate which number is larger or smaller. The "Greater Than" alligator opens its mouth toward the larger number, while the "Less Than" alligator opens its mouth toward the smaller number.

Solution Approach:

1. Understand the Alligator Symbols:
- The "Greater Than" alligator (">") points to the larger number.
- The "Less Than" alligator ("<") points to the smaller number.

2. Compare Each Pair of Numbers:
- For each pair, determine which number is larger and which is smaller.
- Place the appropriate alligator symbol between the numbers.

3. Fill in the Boxes:
- Use the correct alligator symbol for each comparison.

Step-by-Step Solution:

#### a. \( 7 \) and \( 15 \)
- Compare: \( 7 < 15 \)
- The "Less Than" alligator (<) points to 7.
- Answer: \( 7 < 15 \)

#### b. \( 22 \) and \( 19 \)
- Compare: \( 22 > 19 \)
- The "Greater Than" alligator (>) points to 22.
- Answer: \( 22 > 19 \)

#### c. \( 36 \) and \( 28 \)
- Compare: \( 36 > 28 \)
- The "Greater Than" alligator (>) points to 36.
- Answer: \( 36 > 28 \)

#### d. \( 62 \) and \( 33 \)
- Compare: \( 62 > 33 \)
- The "Greater Than" alligator (>) points to 62.
- Answer: \( 62 > 33 \)

#### e. \( 25 \) and \( 49 \)
- Compare: \( 25 < 49 \)
- The "Less Than" alligator (<) points to 25.
- Answer: \( 25 < 49 \)

#### f. \( 35 \) and \( 56 \)
- Compare: \( 35 < 56 \)
- The "Less Than" alligator (<) points to 35.
- Answer: \( 35 < 56 \)

#### g. \( 70 \) and \( 73 \)
- Compare: \( 70 < 73 \)
- The "Less Than" alligator (<) points to 70.
- Answer: \( 70 < 73 \)

#### h. \( 91 \) and \( 82 \)
- Compare: \( 91 > 82 \)
- The "Greater Than" alligator (>) points to 91.
- Answer: \( 91 > 82 \)

Final Answers:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
a. & 7 < 15 \\
b. & 22 > 19 \\
c. & 36 > 28 \\
d. & 62 > 33 \\
e. & 25 < 49 \\
f. & 35 < 56 \\
g. & 70 < 73 \\
h. & 91 > 82 \\
\end{array}
}
