Answer 1

To determine which sign makes the statement true with the numbers given (1, 8, 2, 5), we need to clarify what the statement is comparing.

The statement can be interpreted as comparing two fractions or ratios:

1. \( \frac{1}{2} \)
2. \( \frac{8}{5} \)

Now, we evaluate the two ratios:

1. \( \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 \)
2. \( \frac{8}{5} = 1.6 \)

Since \( 0.5 < 1.6 \), the correct sign would be \( < \).

So the correct sign to put in the statement is:
