Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
Comparing two quantities to determine which is greater, which is smaller, or whether they are equal.
Like comparing piles of blocks—the taller pile has more. Or compare two rows one-to-one; the row with leftover has more.

Example 2
mediumOrder from least to greatest: -3, 1, -10, 0, 7.
Example 3
easyInsert <, >, or = between each pair: (a) -5 ___ -2, (b) 0 ___ -1.
Example 4
mediumWhich is greater, \frac{2}{3} or \frac{3}{4}? Use cross-multiplication to decide.
