Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inequality is read as "23 is less than 28", which is the same as "28 is greater than 23". Therefore, the correct symbol for this inequality is >, making choice C the best answer. Choice A has the correct direction of the inequality but uses the symbol for "greater than or equal to", which is not necessary in this case. Choice B reverses the direction of the inequality. Choice D uses the wrong symbol and reverses the order of the numbers.
