Less than or greater than numbers
Second method, how to remember.
Less than is `<` greater than is `>`
Think of this: `<` or `>` as arrow heads
Examples
1. `15<20`
Change to arrow head
15 `larr`20
The arrow is pointing to the smaller amount. 15 is smaller than 20, or 15 is less than 20.
2. `10>6`
Change to arrow head
10 `rarr` 6
The arrow is pointing to the smaller amount. 6 is smaller than 10, or 10 is greater than 6.
3. `x>6`
Change to arrow head
`x` `rarr` 6
The arrow is pointing to the smaller amount. 6 is smaller than `x`, or `x` is greater than 6.
