Answer 2

The symbols that correctly relates the two numbers are '=' , '>' and ' ≥'.

Explanation:

If we have two expressions a and b,

Then, a = b shows a is equal to b,

a > b shows a is greater than b,

a < b shows a is less than b,

a ≥ b shows a is greater than or equal to b,

a ≤ b shows a is less than or equal to b,

a ≠ b shows a is not equal to b,

Since, 65 is greater than 56 or we can say that it is not equal to 56,

Hence, we can write,

65 > 56 or 65 ≥ 56 or 65 ≠ 56
