To complete the equation [tex]\( 7 \quad 24 / 4 \)[/tex] using one of the comparison operators [tex]\(<\)[/tex], [tex]\(>\)[/tex], or [tex]\(=\)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Begin by evaluating the expression on the right side of the equation.
[tex]\[
24 / 4
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the result of this division:
[tex]\[
24 \div 4 = 6
\][/tex]
3. Now compare the value on the left side of the equation, which is 7, with the result on the right side, which is 6.
4. Determine the appropriate comparison operator:
- If 7 is greater than 6, we use [tex]\(>\)[/tex].
- If 7 is less than 6, we use [tex]\(<\)[/tex].
- If 7 is equal to 6, we use [tex]\(=\)[/tex].
By comparing 7 and 6, it's evident that:
[tex]\[
7 > 6
\][/tex]
Therefore, the correct equation is:
[tex]\[
7 > 6
\][/tex]
The best answer is:
A. [tex]\(>\)[/tex]
