We want to complete the given statement using one of the inequality signs.
-5.3 -5.5Let’s do this by plotting the numbers on a number line to see which is greater.
The number that is farther to the right is greater. We can see that -5.3 is farther to the right than -5.5. This means that -5.3 is greater than -5.5.
-5.3 > -5.5
