D.

Answer 1

*copied from a previous openstudier as this has been answered before*

A
6.52 <6.5

this is not true as 6.52 is larger than 6.5, and the sign means less than
so this is wrong

B –2.8 > –3.5
this is saying -2.8 is larger than -3.5
this is true as you are counting down from 0

C
–11.1 > 10.7

this is saying -11.1 is larger than 10.7
this is false as 10.7 is above 0, -11.1 is below 0

D
–7.75 < –8.45

this is saying -7.75 is less than -8.45
this is false as you are counting down from 0 and -8 comes after -7
