Soooooo Big number > Small number the big number goes by the part that is... wider? and the small number goes by the smaller part. And yeah. lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

The answer isn't A have a look at the number line I drew

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

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):

@mellmel1235 @jim_thompson5910 is correct

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
