5. anonymous

I have an answer i just wanted someone to check my work i choose the second one

7. phi

a simple line would go 1 2 3 4 where we start with small numbers and the numbers to the right are bigger

8. phi

I assume you know 2 is bigger than 1, right ?

9. anonymous

Ok now you are just being a jerk

10. phi

the short way to say 2 is bigger than 1 is write 2 > 1 notice the "big" side of > is next to the bigger number we can also write 1 < 2 which says 1 is smaller than 2 the "big" side of < is still next to the 2
