Question

The temperatures recorded one day at two cities are shown below:

City L: −8° F

City M: −9° F

Which statement about the temperatures at the two cities is true?

City M was warmer than City L because −9° F < −8° F.
City M was warmer than City L because −9° F > −8° F.
City M was colder than City L because −9° F > −8° F.
City M was colder than City L because −9° F < −8° F.

Answer 1

M is colder because in a thermometer it goes from 0 degrees to -1 to -2 etc and the weather is getting colder...

Answer 2

-8 is bigger than -9

so d

Answer 5

Answer 6

Joan represents the height at which a sea gull is flying at +6 feet and the depth at which a fish is swimming at −2 feet on a number line, where 0 represents the surface of the water. Which of these explains whether the sea gull or the fish is closer to the surface of the water?

The fish is closer to the surface of the water because |+6| = 6 and − |−2| = −2, and −2 < 6.
The fish is closer to the surface of the water because |+6| = 6 and |−2| = 2, and 2 < 6.
The sea gull is closer to the surface of the water because |+6| = −6 and |−2| = −2, and −2 > −6.
The sea gull is closer to the surface of the water because |+6| = 6 and − |−2| = 2, and 6 > 2.
