Question

In the inequality -3>- 6, which number appears farther left on a number line and why? O A. -3 appears farther left because -3 is smaller than -6. B. -3 appears farther left because -3 is larger than -6. O c. -6 appears farther left because -6 is larger than -3. OD. -6 appears farther left because -6 is smaller than -3. SUBMIT

Answer 1

the given expression is

-3 > -6

it is clear from inequality that - 3 is greater than -6

when we go left on the number line, the value decreases.

so -6 appears farther left because -6 is smaller than -3.

thus, the correct answer is option D
