Reasoning: 3 is less than 4. 

When 8 is replaced by 4, the comparison symbol changes from > (greater than) to < (less than).  This is because 8 is larger than 3, while 4 is smaller than 8 but still larger than 3.

### Answer: < 

Expected answer: <

Correct? Yes

Problem: Compare the values of the following numbers by filling in the blank with <, >, or =. 6 _ 3 This continues from the previous problem, now consider if the number was 6 and we are comparing it to 3 instead of 1.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 6 is greater than 3.
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Consider the same comparison as before, but this time replace the number 2 with 1. What would the comparison be between 10 _ 1? Fill in the blank with either <, >, or =.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning:  10 is greater than 1. 
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Now consider a similar comparison, but this time with different numbers 10 _ 1 How does this comparison change compared to the previous comparison (5 _ 1)? Fill in the blank with <, >, or = to complete the comparison.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 10 is greater than 1, just like 5 is greater than 1. The comparison remains the same, both numbers on the left side of the blank are larger than the number on the right. 
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Consider the original challenge where you compared 8 and 3. Now, think about what would happen if you were to compare 8 to a different number. Fill in the blank with <, >, or = in the following: 8 _ 10

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 8 is a smaller number than 10. 
### Answer: 8 < 10 

Expected answer: <

Correct? Yes

Problem: Re-evaluate the relationship between the two numbers by filling in the blank with <, >, or =. If the number were changed, how would the result differ? 4 _ 1

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 4 is greater than 1.  If the second number were smaller than 4, the relationship would change to greater than (>).
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Considering the last problem where you compared 6 and 1, now consider a different scenario. Compare the following numbers by filling in the blank with <, >, or =. 3 _ 1

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 3 is greater than 1.
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Consider the scenario from the previous problem, but now, instead of comparing 7 and 3, we are comparing two identical numbers. Fill in the blank in the equation below with <, >, or = to compare the two numbers: 7 _ 7

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

When comparing two identical numbers, we use the = sign.

### Answer: 7 = 7 

Expected answer: =

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following the previous comparison, let's consider a new pair of numbers. Fill in the blank in the question: 9 _ 8 with either a <, >, or = to compare these two numbers.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 9 is greater than 8.
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Continuing from the previous problem, now consider these two numbers: 2 _ 1 Just like before, fill in the blank with the correct symbol (>, <, or =) to compare the two numbers.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: 2 is greater than 1.
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: Now consider the scenario with the same comparison concept: Is the following statement true or false? "Seven is _ than seven." Fill in the blank with either <, >, or =.

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Seven is equal to seven. 

### Answer: = 

Expected answer: =

Correct? Yes

Problem: Following up from the previous question where we compared 4 with 10, let's make a slight change. Please compare the following numbers by filling in the blank with <, >, or =: 2 _ 10 Consider the scenario where we only had two items instead of four. Could your comparison from the earlier problem help you in this situation?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Yes, our earlier comparison helps! We know 4 is smaller than 10. Since 2 is even smaller than 4, it must also be smaller than 10. 

### Answer: < 

Expected answer: <

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the above comparison you made between 2 and 9, now let's change the second number. Suppose we change the number 9 to 4. Compare them using the symbols <, >, or =. So, the new equation to solve will be: 2 _ 4

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Since 2 is smaller than 4, we use the symbol <. 

### Answer: 2 < 4 

Expected answer: <

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the previous problem, you compared the numbers 6 and 8. Now consider a similar comparison: Compare these two numbers by filling in the blank with <, >, or =: 9 _ 8

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

Reasoning: Since 9 is greater than 8, we use the > symbol. 
### Answer: > 

Expected answer: >

Correct? Yes

Problem: In the previous statement, you compared the numbers 8 and 7. Now consider a different scenario: Fill in the blank in the statement 5 _ 7 with either a <, >, or = sign to compare the numbers. How does this comparison differ from the earlier one?

Gemini-1.5 Pro:

5 __ 7

Since 5 is less than 7, we use the less than symbol:

5 < 7

### Answer: < 

This comparison differs from the earlier one because the numbers are reversed in terms of their relative size.  Before, we had a larger number first (8 > 7). Now we have a smaller number first (5 < 7). This highlights the importance of the order of numbers when using comparison symbols. 

Expected answer: <

Correct? Yes
