To start off... > = greater than <=less then

pooja195 (pooja195):

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

pooja195 (pooja195):

So it is not C

pooja195 (pooja195):

Try again? :)

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

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

pooja195 (pooja195):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Why isn't A right?

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

d says -10 is greater than 0. 0 < -10 (-10 over 0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh than it would bee A oops read it wrong

OpenStudy (♪chibiterasu):

Yeah

pooja195 (pooja195):

Why is it A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because -2 is greater then -10

pooja195 (pooja195):
