Question

Given that |-5| > 3, which statement is not true?

-5 is farther from 0 than 3 is on the number line.
-5 is greater than 3.
3 > -5
5 > 3

Answer 1

-5 is greater than 3 is not true.

Explanation:

We are given that |-5| > 3.

Now, we have to conclude which statement from the given options is not true i.e. false.

Now, since |-5| > 3 so, we can say that -5 is farther from 0 than 3 is on the number line.

Again, we know, 3 > -5 and 5 > 3.

So, the only statement remaining i.e. -5 is greater than 3 is false. (Answer)
