Practice makes perfect

Phrase Inequality symbol
more than >
less than <

Once we know the symbols, we can complete the inequality. A numbermis more than0and less than11. m > 0and m < 11 The compound inequality m>0 and m<11 means that the number m is between 0 and 11. This allows us to write it without using the word and. 0
