Question

Is -1.44 greater than negative one and 1/4

Answer 1

Answer: No, it is not

Explanation:

To determine if -1.44 is greater than -1 and 1/4, we need to compare their values.

1. Convert 1/4 to a decimal: 1/4 = 0.25.

2. Now we have:

-1.44 > -1 and 0.25

When comparing negative numbers, the one with the smaller absolute value is actually greater. Since -1.44 has a smaller absolute value than -1, we can conclude that -1.44 is indeed less than -1.

Therefore, -1.44 is less than both -1 and 1/4.

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

-1.44 is not greater than negative one and 1/4. When you convert 1/4 to a decimal, it's 0.25, so negative one and 1/4 is -1.25. Since -1.44 is less than -1.25, it's not greater than negative one and 1/4.
