Okai Thank You!

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

For A, C, D, and E, you can switch the sign and change the numbers to postive..it makes it easier. A. 14 < 12 C. 11 > 16 D. 30 > 18 E. 3 < 8 So so the answer is B AND E

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

@whovianchick D. is false.

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

|dw:1449864172947:dw| see?

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

NEEEEEEEEVER switch the signs! That changes things!@Victoriasushchik that's not how it works.

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

with positive numbers, "smaller" numbers mean less value, and "bigger" numbers mean more value. However, with negative numbers, "smaller" numbers mean more value, and "bigger" numbers mean less value. That's because they're getting less and less from 0.

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

If you have $18, and your friend has $30, who has more? your friend. If you owe $18, and your friend owes $30, who has more? You do, because you owe less. Owing money is the same thing as having a negative amount of money.

@Victoriasushchik @*Tay*

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

@Victoriasushchik I know you're reading this please respond. I know you meant well but you don't deserve that medal

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

@*Tay* I have tried to explain to @Victoriasushchik over chat that she is wrong, she threw a fit, made fun of me, and blocked me. Please look at this.

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

And if you don't change your answer, feel free to message her when you get it wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well D was correct though because -18 is more -30 @whovianchick @Victoriasushchik

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

See? Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gotta remember this is negative and not positive if it was positive then 30 would have been bigger but it wasn't so yea your welcome :D

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

yeah. I meant no offense to @Victoriasushchik but she got offended anyways. Cause how DARE ANYONE say she's wrong!

OpenStudy (victoriasushchik):

@whovianchick you will be kicked of openstudy if you will fight on it you have to help not to think you are the smart one and throw all these messages the owner of openstudy will read them i'll send them to her and she'll kick you off!!

OpenStudy (whovianchick):

Go right ahead. Report me. I was frantic because I didn't want her to get it wrong, which she didn't. You're the one perpetuating the issue by threatening me, instead of just admitting you were wrong and apologizing. I'm sorry if anything I did offended you, but it wasn't meant that way. Please stop being immature @Victoriasuschchik

I gave you the medal @whovianchick
