Answer :
If it's [tex]<[/tex] or [tex]\le[/tex] then it goes to the left.
If it's [tex]>[/tex] or [tex]\ge[/tex] then it goes to the right.
So it has to have a [tex]<[/tex] sign, which takes out A and D, because A is the same as [tex]\sf~p>89[/tex].
The number shown is the number that the dot will be placed on, so the number is 89, which takes out B.
So we have:
[tex]\boxed{\sf~p<89}[/tex] or Option C

So we have:
[tex]\boxed{\sf~p<89}[/tex] or Option C
the smaller it is, the farther to the left it is
so the < and > signs
if x<y think of it as a mouth that eats the bigger one
so y is greater than x
the dot is on the 89 so we can eliminate B
the s choice we have left are
89<p
p<89
p>89
we notice that 89<p is just p>89 flipped around, they are equal so we can eliminate those 2
the one that is left is 89>p
the answer is C
so the < and > signs
if x<y think of it as a mouth that eats the bigger one
so y is greater than x
the dot is on the 89 so we can eliminate B
the s choice we have left are
89<p
p<89
p>89
we notice that 89<p is just p>89 flipped around, they are equal so we can eliminate those 2
the one that is left is 89>p
the answer is C
