Question

The positions of two divers from the water's surface after a dive are shown:

Jack: −35 feet
Simon: −40 feet

Which inequality explains why Jack is closer to the surface than Simon?

Because −35 > −40, so −35 is closer to 0 than −40
Because −35 < −40, so −35 is closer to 0 than −40
Because −35 > −40, so −35 is farther from 0 than −40
Because −35 < −40, so −35 is farther from 0 than −40

yes so if that is closer to 0 it would be the greater name due to value


so -40 would be farther from 0 and would be less of a greater number due to value

Answer 12

(Hint) -35> -40 is correct


with that being said cross off answer options B and D
