To determine where a greater than (>) symbol would make the statements true, let's evaluate each inequality:

  1. -7 ____ -5: \(-7\) is less than \(-5\), so not true.

    • Answer: <
  2. -7 ____ -5: Same as above.

    • Answer: <
  3. 7 ____ -5: \(7\) is greater than \(-5\), so true.

    • Answer: >
  4. 7 ____ -5: Same as above.

    • Answer: >
  5. -6.25 ____ -6.75: \(-6.25\) is greater than \(-6.75\), so true.

    • Answer: >
  6. -6.25 ____ -6.75: Same as above.

    • Answer: >
  7. −1 3/4 ____ −7/4: \(-1.75\) is equal to \(-1.75\), so not true.

    • Answer: =
  8. negative 1 and 3 fourths ____ negative 7 fourths: Same as above.

    • Answer: =
  9. -3 ____ 0: \(-3\) is less than \(0\), so not true.

    • Answer: <

Therefore, the correct responses where a greater than (>) symbol would make the statements true are:

  • 7 > -5
  • -6.25 > -6.75

So the valid choices are:

  • 7 > -5
  • -6.25 > -6.75
