A. − 1 over 3
B. −1
C. −2
D. −0.1

Please help.

Answer 1

D. -0.1

-(1/7) is approximately equal to -0.14

Therefore:
a. -(1/3) approx -0.33 (less than -0.14)
b. -1 (less than -0.14)
c. -2 (less than -0.14)
d. -0.1 (greater than -0.14)

Remember that negative numbers are going in the opposite direction as positive numbers so a smaller negative number is greater than a larger negative number.
