The arrow pointing to the right ( " > " ) indicates is greater than and the arrow pointing to the left ( " < " ) indicates is less than. A very easy way to remember this is to look at the size of the imaginary vertical (up and down) line drawn through the arrow at either end of the arrow and seeing which is the shortest. If the line is longer, that side of the "inequality" is the larger one (if the inequality is correct). Examples: 100 > 2 or 3 < 200.

when you are given a > or < and asked which is the greater sign, just assume there is a number to the left of the sign, and nothing on the right.

My trick for remembering this is that the one that looks most like an L, <, stands for Less than.

I don't want to give you the answer to your homework problem, but you need to start by converting the cm to m. Use this site: http://www.onlineconversion.com/length_common.htm

Then, just remember that the point should always go to the smallest number.

15 >14
14 <15
