Hint:

A number in front of is multiplying to it.
So 2 means 2 times


Since is a little more than 3, the answer will be
a little more than 6.

Reminder:

> is called the "greater than" inequality symbol.
For example 6 > 3



< is called the "less than" inequality symbol.
For example 2 < 5

Answer 1

Let's break down the given expressions step by step.

### Left Expression:
\( 2 \cdot \pi \)
Since \( \pi \) is slightly greater than 3:
\[
2\pi > 2 \cdot 3 = 6
\]

### Right Expression:
The right-hand expression is \( 5 - 2 + 4 + 9 \):
- First simplify \( 5 - 2 \):
\[
5 - 2 = 3
\]
- Now add 4:
\[
3 + 4 = 7
\]
- Finally, add 9:
\[
7 + 9 = 16
\]

### Comparison:
Now we have:
- Left Expression: \( 2\pi \) (which is greater than 6)
- Right Expression: \( 16 \)

Now we can compare:
\[
2\pi > 6 < 16
\]

Since \( 2\pi > 6 \) and \( 16 > 6 \), it follows that:
\[
2\pi < 16
\]

Putting it all together, the choices in the blanks would be as follows:
1. \( 2\pi \) to \( 6 \)
2. \( 6 \) to \( 9 \)
3. \( 9 \) to \( 16 \)

### Final answer:
1. **>** (2π > 6)
2. **<** (6 < 16)

So, to complete the statements:
- \( 2\pi > 6 \)
- \( 6 < 16 \)

You would select:
- Blank 1: **>**
- Blank 2: **<**
- Blank 3: **<** (6 < 16, comparing 9 to 16 is not needed since it confirms my comparison with the 16)
