Stock F had a price change of –4 dollars and Stock G had a price change of +1 dollars.

Brody said Stock G had a greater price change because a positive integer is greater than a negative integer. Is his statement correct? Explain why or why not.

Answer 1

sample response

No his statement is not correct. Brody confused value and magnitude. [-4]= 4 and -[+1] = 1. The magnitude of -4 is grater than the magnitude of +1. Stock F had a greater price change.
