Corrected Question

What does
-\frac35>-2 indicate about the position of
-\frac35 and −2 on the number line?

Options

negative 3 over 5 is located on the right of −2

negative 3 over 5 is located on the left of −2

negative 3 over 5 is located on the right of 0 and −2 is located on the left of 0

negative 3 over 5 is located on the left of 0 and −2 is located on the right of 0

Answer:

(A)negative 3 over 5 is located on the right of −2

Explanation:

Given the inequality:
-\frac35>-2

On a number line, numbers are written from the left to the right in ascending order.

Therefore:

  • Any number y to the right of another number x is greater than x, y>x.
  • Any number a to the left of another number x is less than b, a<b.
  • Negative numbers are to the left of 0.

In the given inequality
-\frac35>-2 , both numbers are negative and are therefore to the left of 0.

However, since
-\frac35 is greater than -2, it is located to the right of -2 .

The correct option is A.
