Question

Use $$ =,< $$ or $$ > $$ to complete the statement. $$ |28.9|-|-29.1| $$ $$ |28.9|<|-29.1| $$

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

1. Calculate $$ |28.9| $$:
   $$
   |28.9| = 28.9
   $$

2. Calculate $$ |-29.1| $$:
   $$
   |-29.1| = 29.1
   $$

Now we can substitute these values into the expression:
$$
|28.9| - |-29.1| = 28.9 - 29.1
$$

Next, we perform the subtraction:
$$
28.9 - 29.1 = -0.2
$$

Now we can compare $$ |28.9| $$ and $$ |-29.1| $$:
- $$ |28.9| = 28.9 $$
- $$ |-29.1| = 29.1 $$

Since $$ 28.9 < 29.1 $$, we can conclude that:
$$
|28.9| < |-29.1|
$$

Thus, the completed statement is:
$$
|28.9| < |-29.1|
$$
$$ |28.9| < |-29.1| $$

Use \( =,< \) or \( > \) to complete the statement. \( |28.9|-|-29.1| \) \( |28.9|<|-29.1| \)
