Question

Which number is further from 0 on a number line: −7 or 4? Complete the explanation.

Answer 1

-7 is the further number from 0

Explanation:

So lets say you start at 0

count 4 spaces to the right because it is a positive 4

and count 7 spaces to the left because it is a negative 7

7 is greater than 4 which means -7 is farther from 0 than 4 on a number line
