The inequality sign "<" means "a number less than" if you're reading from left to right. The inequality sign ">" means "a number greater than" if you're reading from left to right.
There are slightly more complicated inequality signs, but those are for a different question. So, let's determine if .57% is greater or less than 11.
.57% = 0.057
So, we now have the following inequality: 0.057 _ 11.00
Well, 11 is a whole number, and 0.057 is a decimal that isn't even up to 1.00, so 11 is greater than 0.057.
