remember we're in negatives
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
21 is more negative than 15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
plus that chart isnt on my test
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
So -21 is bigger than -15
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

The answer isn't A.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait so waht is the answer
whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):
B.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
-21 is to the left of -15 on the number line, so that's why -21 < -15
flip that around to get -15 > -21
