Answer: Choice B

Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number is more than negative four and five tenths.

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

2.4 = 2 + 0.4

2.4 = 2 and 4/10

2.4 = 2 and 4 tenths

2.4 = two and four tenths

-------------------

Through similar reasoning,

6.2 = six and two tenths

And also,

-4.5 = negative four and five tenths

---------------------

Notice how 6.2 - x translates into "difference of six and two tenths and a number"

We then multiply that by 2.4, aka two and four tenths.

So that's how we get the phrasing "Two and four tenths multiplied by the difference of six and two tenths and a number"

All of this is greater than -4.5 aka negative four and five tenths.

This points us to Choice B as the final answer.
