In the question shown in the image, you're asked to determine the correct inequality between the numbers \(-10.89\) and \(-5.43\).

To solve this:

- \(-10.89\) is less than \(-5.43\), because negative numbers closer to zero (like \(-5.43\)) are greater than numbers farther from zero (like \(-10.89\)).

So the correct inequality is:

\[
-10.89 < -5.43
\]

You should select the "\(<\)" symbol to make a true statement.
