The expression that results in a negative difference is (c) 98.85 - 99.84

Which expression results in a negative difference

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

The expressions

An expression a - b will result in a negative difference if b > a

This means that we make comparison between the terms of each expression

Considering the option (c), we have

98.85 - 99.84

In this expression, we have

a = 98.85

b = 99.84

By comparison:

99.84 > 98.85

This satisfies the conditions of negative difference

Hence, the expression that results in a negative difference is (c) 98.85 - 99.84

Question

From the expressions below, select the one that results in a negative difference.

-4 3/8 - (-6 5/8)

1 - (-6)

98.85 - 99.84

-2 2/5 - (-2 3/5)
