Which sign makes the statement true?
52 \(\quad\fbox{?}\) 12 × 5

 

 

  • A

    >

  • B

    <

  • C

    =

The correct answer is "<".

Solution:

We simplify the right side.
12 × 5 = 60
So, we have:
52 ? 12 × 5
52 ? 60
Now, 52 is less than 60.
So, the ‘<’ sign makes the statement true.

That is, 52 < 60.
