Answer 1

Do you know what the different signs mean?
Read > as "is greater than"
Read < as "is less than"

So if you see
1 >0
Read it as "1 is greater than 0" Which is true =)

If you see
6 < 5
Read it as "6 is less than 5" Which is false =(

Answer 2

Try these on your own and ask me questions =D

Answer 3

Is it C & D? and maybe F?

Answer 4

Explain to me why you think it is those 3.

Answer 5

Never mind it's not C. -_-
D is true because 6 is greater than 5 and 6 is less than 7.
F is true because 18 is more than -7 and 18 is less than 19.
Am I right now? :D

Answer 6

Good job =) Can you tell me why A, B, C, and E are false?

Answer 7

Ahhhh, thanks! Well, the reasons there wrong is because they don't equal out, and I used what you told me.

Answer 8

Excellent! My pleasure! =D
