Question

comparing decimals; 2.45; 62.4; <; =; >; check mark

Explanation:

Step1: Compare integer parts

The integer part of \(2.45\) is \(2\), and the integer part of \(62.4\) is \(62\). Since \(2 < 62\), we can determine the relationship between the two decimals.

Step2: Conclude the comparison

Because the integer part of \(2.45\) is less than the integer part of \(62.4\), we have \(2.45 < 62.4\).

Answer:

The correct symbol is \( < \) (the left - most green button with the \( < \) symbol).
