Question

Which inequality is a true statement?

A. -6.6 > -5.8
B.- 5/9 < 5/9
C. -6 < -7
D. -3.4 > 2.6

Answer 1

The inequality -5/9 < 5/9 is a true statement because negatives are less than positives. :)

Answer 2

B is the true statement. This is because when something has a larger number in a negative since ( -6.6 ) that doesn't mean it's greater than ( -5.8 ). It's less than -5.8, because -5.8 is closer to a positive number. Refer to a number line for a visual exampole :)
