Problem of the Week
Problem B
Maybe Equals, Maybe Not

1. For each of the following statements, fill in the \(\bigcirc\) with \(=\), \(<\), or \(>\) to make the statement true.

   1. \(0.5 + 0.24 \bigcirc \frac{3}{4}\)

   2. \(1.10 + \frac{1}{4} \bigcirc \frac{35}{100}\)

   3. \(2 \times 2 \times 5 \bigcirc \frac{100}{5}\)

   4. \(100-24+65 \bigcirc 14 \times 10\)

   5. \(25 \times 40 + 321 \bigcirc 153 \times 10\)

   6. \(2 \times 24 \div 6 \bigcirc \frac{36}{6}\)

   7. \(35 \times 2 \bigcirc 5 \times 14\)

   8. \(2y+6 \bigcirc y+3+y+3\)

2. In the following statement, determine values of \(y\) that make the statement true when the \(\bigcirc\) is replaced with \(=\), \(<\), and \(>\). \[4y+12 \bigcirc 4 + 2y + 4 + 3y + 4\]
