Hello there! Your answer would be -9 is greater than -9.7.
Let's start off with what we know. You know with numbers as you go up on the number line, the farther you get away from 0, numbers get bigger. (For example, 10 is greater than 9.)
But with negative numbers, its the opposite. The closer you are to 0, the greater your value is.
So, in this case we have -9.7 and -9.
-9 would be greater since we are dealing with negative numbers.
So, this is your final answer. I hope this helps, and have a great day! Please don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this specific question!
