Problem Overview:
The task involves comparing quantities of objects in pairs and marking the correct symbol (`>`, `<`, or `=`) to indicate whether one quantity is greater than, less than, or equal to the other. The worksheet uses visual representations of objects (carrots, popsicles, bottles, and flowers) for comparison.
Solution Explanation:
#### Step 1: Understand the Symbols
-
`>` means "greater than."
-
`<` means "less than."
-
`=` means "equal to."
#### Step 2: Compare Each Pair of Quantities
##### Pair 1: Carrots
- Left side: 5 carrots
- Right side: 8 carrots
- Comparison: 5 < 8
- Mark: `<`
##### Pair 2: Popsicles
- Left side: 4 popsicles
- Right side: 4 popsicles
- Comparison: 4 = 4
- Mark: `=`
##### Pair 3: Bottles
- Left side: 6 bottles
- Right side: 3 bottles
- Comparison: 6 > 3
- Mark: `>`
##### Pair 4: Flowers
- Left side: 9 flowers
- Right side: 9 flowers
- Comparison: 9 = 9
- Mark: `=`
Final Answer:
Mark the symbols as follows:
1. `<`
2. `=`
3. `>`
4. `=`
Boxed Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{<, =, >, =}
\]
