For a while, I’ve seen “<” and “>” as a slanted “=”, which is to say, these numbers are not equal, and the larger side is the larger number and the smaller side is the smaller number.

Works for me, IDK.

But shouldn’t it be 8 < 1 because the eight is heavier and squeezes the bars of the = together?

I’m with you, the croc is an opportunist and will eat the smaller, easier prey.

No, since it’s bigger it stretches the lines apart :)

That would be a pair of scissors, on its way to cut the number 1.

its not a scale exactly but the size of the ends shows the size of the numbers.
