Question

"The inequality symbols < and > can be said to "point to" the smaller number?" Is this true? and... "A number to the right of a given number on the number line is greater than the given number." true or false?

Answer 1

both true

3 < 5
5 > 3

< or > points to the smaller number

and a number line goes from neg infinity to positive infinity, and increases as you go from left to right

Answer 2

There are two elements in this symbol.
First is < and the second is >.
The < points to the left (less than).
The > points to the right (greater than).
The symbol <> is actually "less than or greater than."
Therefore, the answer if false!
Here is an example:
In words:
12 is less than 13 or greater than 11.
In mathematical symbol:
13<12>11
Good luck!

Answer 3

the symbol < can be said as "is smaller than" and
the symbol > can be said as "is bigger than" and yes, they point always to the smaller number but in the first case the smaller number is on the left and in the second case the smaller number is on the right of the inequality symbol

Answer 4

First question is true.
Second question is also true. On a number line, the number more to the right is the bigger number.
Have a great day!

Answer 5

the two signs do point to the larger number and as long as the numbers are on the number line correctly, the largest number is to the right.

Answer 6

Both of your statements are true.
