Answer:

A) 20.82 > 20.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully, your issue is with the symbols (< vs >) rather than actually determining which number is larger or smaller.

The wide-open end of the symbol (the left side, in the case of >) indicates the larger (more positive) number.

So, the meanings of the symbols are ...

> — "is greater than"

< — "is less than"

The only true statement of those listed is ...

20.82 is greater than 20.55, or 20.82 > 20.55 . . . . selection A

_____

When writing number comparisons, I like to use the < symbol, because it puts the numbers in number-line order. That is, the smaller (or more negative) number is on the left, just as it is on a number line.

You trade the places of the numbers when changing the symbol. For example, answer choice A could be rewritten as ...

20.55 < 20.82

You know that 20.55 is to the left of 20.82 on the number line, so you know this statement is true.

Verdich [7]
There are several information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily arrived at. Let us first write down the details given.

Ryan Katie and Mike are roommates. They need to pay an electric bill. The bill is $155.52 The billing cycle is from nov23-dec23.
rusak2 [61]

Answer: Step-by-step explanation:

if I am correct.. Katie is gonna be paying $77.76. Meanwhile, Mike and Ryan are paying $38.88

half of 155.52 = 77.76

half of 77.76 = 38.88

$77.76 + $33.88 + $38.88 = $155.52
