Yep! So A is correct. Now then next one. -3>-1. Is -3 bigger of smaller then -1?
bigger
Yep. So correct. Next one. 8 > –13 Is 8 bigger or smaller then -13? Is 8 farther from 0 or is -13 farther from 0?
-13 is farther than 8
K. So A,B,C are correct so now lets go onto D. -10<-6 Is -10 bigger or smaller then -6? Is -10 farther away from 0?
-10 is farther than -6
Okay. So that one is correct. Now onto E. -14<-15 Now < means that -14 is bigger than -15. But -15 is farther away from 0. So that is incorrect right? So all the possible answers are A,B,C,and D
