Solve the following exercise:
\( (+6)\cdot(+9)= \)
The colon (:) represents division, just like the ÷ symbol. So means .
Same signs = positive result and different signs = negative result. Since both numbers are negative, same signs give us a positive answer!
We're comparing 0.1 with 0, not finding if they're equal. Since 0.1 is greater than 0, we need the > symbol to make the statement true.
Double-check: . The negatives cancel out! Then compare: is 0.1 greater than, less than, or equal to 0?
No! This expression has a clear mathematical meaning. We can always divide numbers (except by zero) and compare the result with another number.
