Understand the Problem
The question presents a mathematical comparison. It asks to compare the result of (16 - 5) with the result of (2 x 7) and determine which is larger or if they are equal, and to insert the appropriate '<', '>', or '=' sign in the box.
Answer
$(16 - 5) < (2 \times 7)$
Answer for screen readers
$(16 - 5) < (2 \times 7)$
Steps to Solve
- Calculate the value of (16 - 5)
To find the value of $16 - 5$, subtract 5 from 16. $ 16 - 5 = 11 $
- Calculate the value of (2 x 7)
To find the value of $2 \times 7$, multiply 2 by 7. $2 \times 7 = 14$
- Compare the two values
Compare the two values obtained in the previous steps, 11 and 14. Determine which is larger. Here, 11 is less than 14.
- Insert the appropriate sign
Since 11 is less than 14, the correct sign to insert is '<'. Therefore, $(16 - 5) < (2 \times 7)$
$(16 - 5) < (2 \times 7)$
More Information
The less than symbol '$<$' indicates that the value on the left side is smaller than the value on the right side.
