Question

Which of the following inequalities correctly compares -6 and 3?

(A) -6 > 3
(B) -6 < 3
(C) 3 > -6
(D) 3 < -6

Answer 1

The correct inequality that compares -6 and 3 is 3 < -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct inequality that compares -6 and 3 is (D) 3 < -6.

To determine the correct inequality, we compare the values of -6 and 3. Since -6 is less than 3, we use the less than symbol (<). The smaller number is always on the left side of the symbol, so the correct inequality is 3 < -6.
