OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is there more info?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is grapes on one side and a banana on the other and the symbol in the middle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

andrea408 take a picture and post it here, that would give a better answer to zordolooms question

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

x>y x is greater than y x<y x is less than y x≥y x is greater than or equal to y x≠y x is not equal to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what does this symbol mean ? μ

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) greater than b)lesser than c) equal to or greater than d)not equal to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

None of them. μ means microns or the coefficient of friction.

the picture shows a bunch on grapes on one side of the symbol and a banana on the other side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

grapes greater than the banana G>B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you take a picture and post it here? Or draw it out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the grapes are larger then the banana so im guessing that its greater then ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the only thing that makes sense here.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

mu ( µ ) is not a standard geometry symbol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well lets see if its right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it wasnt right :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry then, it's hard to see a picture you are trying to describe. It's like i've not met that problem before.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
