apoorvk · Answer

and positive nos. are always greater than negative nos.^^

anonymous · Answer

so it is 2? lol

apoorvk · Answer

So that rules out all negative no. from the given options. 

Yes, 2 it is!! Right-o!

anonymous · Answer

i thought 2 but i know  2 is equal to 2 because 2 isn't any less unless it was -2 lol

anonymous1 · Answer

You rounded the number to 2, but it doesn't mean that the number is equal to 2. 13/8 = 1.625 is smaller than 2.

o.O

You don't just round of 13/8 to 2. keep it like 1.6 atleast. (and even if you do round it off, you know its actually less than 2)
