Question

Which number when placed in the blank makes the inequality false

Answer 1

OPTION A

Explanation:

The inequality given is written below

----------- > 8

Let the unknown number be x

Since x is greater than 8, then x must be any number greater than 8

Recall that, the absolute value of a real number is x, denoted |x|, which is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign.

According to the option

|1| = 1

|-9| = 9

|10| = 10

|-13| = 13

Hence, 9, 10, and 11 are greater than 8

The only number, when placed in the blank that will make the inequality false, is 1 because it is less than 8
