Explanation

Strategy To pick the correct inequality symbol to place between a pair of numbers, we need to determine the position of each number on the number line.

WHY For any two numbers on a number line, the number to the left is the smaller number and the number to the right is the larger number.

Solution

  1. Since 3 is to the left of 7 on the number line, we have 3 7.
  2. Since 18 is to the right of 16 on the number line, we have 18 16.
