Question

The table shows the elevations of the highest and lowest points in Australia, where negative numbers are feet below sea level. Which inequality correctly compares the elevations?A. -49 > 7313B. 7313 < -49C. 7313 > -49D. 49 > 7313

Answer 1

From the given table, we can see that the elevation of the highest point is 7313 ft and the elevation of the lowest point is -49 ft.

The elevation is the hight of a point above the sea level.

The highest point is 7313 ft high above the sea level where the lowest point is 49 ft below the sea level.

Therefore,

-49<7313.

Hence, the correct option is (C)
