Mehek (mehek14):

you need to see which number has the greatest distance from 0 for example: you have -50 and 5 -50 has a greater distance because it is 50 places from 0 while 5 is only 5 places from 0 get the idea?

OpenStudy (goldengoodgirl):

soo its c?

Mehek (mehek14):

yup 10 -> 10 places from 0 -15 -> 15 places from 0 -40 -> 40 places from 0 25 -> 25 places from 0

OpenStudy (goldengoodgirl):
