Question

Identify the ‘false’ statement.

a) (-317) < 603
b) (-333) < (-777)
c) 630 > 234
d) 1250 > (-750)

Answer 1

the false statement would be option b) (-333) < (-777).

Explanation:

in negative numbers, the smallest negative number would be considered larger when compared to a large negative number. additionally, when you plot these numbers on a number line, it is evident that -333 would be closest to 0, and -777 would be the farthest. thus, -333 is larger than -777.
