Which sign makes the statement true?

Question

–31/10 ? –𝜋
< or >

Answer 1

To determine the relationship between \(-31/10\) and \(-\pi\), we first convert both numbers into decimal form.

1. Calculate \(-31/10\): \[-31/10 = -3.1\]

2. The value of \(-\pi\) (where \(\pi \approx 3.14\)) is: \[-\pi \approx -3.14\]

Now we compare the two values:

• \(-3.1\) (which is \(-31/10\)) is greater than \(-3.14\) (which is \(-\pi\)).

Thus, we have: \[-31/10 > -\pi\]

So, the appropriate sign to make the statement true is \(>\).
