Question

Which number sentence is true?

a. 5/6> |-1 5/6|
b. √18 > 5 7/8
c. 5.6 x 10³ > 1000
d. -2.45 > 4 2/5

Answer 1

The true number sentence is option d. (-2.45 > 4 2/5). To compare the numbers, convert the mixed number 4 2/5 to a decimal and then compare.

Step-by-step explanation:

The true number sentence is option d. (-2.45 > 4 2/5)

To compare the numbers, we need to convert the mixed number 4 2/5 to a decimal. This can be done by dividing 5 into 2 and adding the quotient to 4. The result is 4.4.

Now we can compare -2.45 and 4.4. Since -2.45 is less than 4.4, the number sentence -2.45 > 4 2/5 is not true.
