Is having $3 as debt worse than having $4 as debt ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No having $4 as debt is worse

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You may think of negative numbers as debt.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So am I correct?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Exactly! so `-3 < -4` is false, because having $3 as debt is better than having $4 as debt

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

C is not the answer

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at other options

Oh ok D because I know that b is equal to each other and a is like c but with different numbers

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

D is also wrong. any positive number is always greater than a negative number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh didnt catch thet sorry so the answer is b
