|dw:1444329350621:dw|

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

|dw:1444329409287:dw|

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 not always true is 7less than 5 because 7 is farther away from zero than 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um 5.2 is greater because positive is always greater than negitive

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

so you mean that -4.1 is less than -4.15 @stuck-help i mean that in this case number that is bigger to 0 is bigger

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

right so that one is not true but done og with that one just yet make sure non of the other ones are not true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

is -4.15 less than -4.10 is -7.27 greater than -8.9 is 3.6 less than 3.48

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.15 i less because it is farther away from the zero is that right

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

yes that time that will work make sure it is -4.15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

so thats one but not all the correct statements

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and -7.27 is greater than -8.9 because it is close to the zero

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

yes because both are negative now last one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, the last one is not true because 3.6 is closer to zero than 3.48

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

you are correct but you detail is not 3.6 is greater than 3.48 to make is easier make them have the same amount of place values since there are 2 after the decimal on 3.48 make it the same on 3.6 which 3.60

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok soo b and c are the correct answers right to check

OpenStudy (stuck-help):

yes they are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for your help very much

OpenStudy (stuck-help):
