Question

A girl's feet are negative 2 over 4 yards from the surface of a pool. A boy's feet are negative 3 over 4 yards from the surface of the pool. Determine whose feet are closer to the surface

The girl's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 > negative 3 over 4
The boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 > negative 3 over 4
The girl's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 < negative 3 over 4
The boy's feet are closer to the surface of the pool because negative 2 over 4 < negative 3 over 4
