Question

Use a verbal statement to describe the inequality statement.

a. negative three is greater than zero
b. three is less than zero
c. negative three is less than zero
d. three is greater than zero

Answer 1

The inequality statement -3 < 0 can be verbalized as 'negative three is less than zero'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The verbal statement that describes the inequality statement -3 < 0 is: negative three is less than zero.

In this inequality, -3 is on the left side of the inequality symbol (<) and 0 is on the right side. Because -3 is smaller (less) than 0, we use the word 'less than' to describe their relationship in a verbal statement.
