Question

Which sentence correctly compares the two points shown on the number line? -1 > 0.25 , -1 < -0.25, -0.25 < -1

Answer 1

Answer : -1 < -0.25,

Answer 2

-1<-0.25

With -1>0.25 you have a negative(-1) and a positive(0.25) the negative will always be less than the positive proving the equation wrong

Moving onto -1<-0.25 this one is a little trickier because they both have a negative so this is where you look at the number line and see which number is closer to 0 and whichever number is is greater meaning this is the correct answer.
