Answer 1

To solve the comparison \( 42 \div 6 \) ___ \( 42 \div 7 \), we first calculate each division:

1. \( 42 \div 6 = 7 \)
2. \( 42 \div 7 = 6 \)

Now we can compare the two results:

\( 7 \) ___ \( 6 \)

Since \( 7 \) is greater than \( 6 \), the correct symbol to make the comparison true is:

\[

\]

So the answer is \( 42 \div 6 > 42 \div 7 \).
