1.Which of the following statement is true? A. -9>-4 B.|-10|>|2| C.|-3|<|1| D.6<-12

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

The most important thing here is both knowing that the signs around some of the numbers means, as well as noticing the sign denoting greater that or less than. Do you understand the "poles" on the sides of some of the numbers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeh

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Ok, good. Next, do you understand the terms of "greater than", or "less than", and how they're used here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeh

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

Alright, so what is confusing you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont get the greater less thing

OpenStudy (noseboy908):

So, you don't understand which one has which symbol, or what exactly? I'm confused because you just told me that you understood how they're used here.
