Which answer choice do you think is the answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c?
pooja195 (pooja195):
Nope have you considered using a number line?
pooja195 (pooja195):
-3 is further from 0 on the number line ....-1 is greater than -3
-3 is NOT greater than -1

When considering NEGATIVE numbers, the bigger the number, the less it is.
-5 is less than -2 for example
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-10 is less than 0 but i don't think -4 is equal to 4 is it?
pooja195 (pooja195):
-4 is less than 4 its not equal

Why isn't A right?
OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):
d says -10 is greater than 0.
0 < -10 (-10 over 0)
