"...foods that provide >1 mcg of Vitamin D"
This means food that provide greater than 1 mcg of Vitamin D. < would mean less than.
Best of luck!

The < means less than.

here's how i always remember this one, learned it in grade school and it stuck:
think of the sign as a mouth, and it always wants the bigger thing. so if the mouth is trying to "eat" something, that is the bigger one, so it means "greater than", like this:
10 > 2
and then vice versa.
does that make any sense, or do i just sound crazy???

< = more than
>=less than
Just think of pac man and if its facing the number its eating it so its more than if its not facing the number its running away and its less than. Thats how I remembered it when I was taking math .
Hope that helps.
