You're welcome.
Stephen and Florence are below the surface, so both numbers must be negative.
- 5 > - 2 is false
- 2 > - 5 is true
Answer C
@Bosnian Thanks
I checked yur awnsers they r wright.
cloud is corecct
Cloud is right for both
To determine which statement shows that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence, we need to compare their relative positions.
Stephen is two levels below the surface, which we can represent as -2 (negative because it's below the surface). Florence, on the other hand, is five levels below the surface, so we represent her position as -5.
Now, we compare the two values to determine the answer. Looking at the options:
A. -5 > -2
This statement is saying that Florence (-5) is greater than Stephen (-2). Therefore, this option does not show that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence.
B. 2 > -5
This statement is saying that Stephen (2) is greater than Florence (-5). Therefore, this option shows that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence.
C. -2 > -5
This statement is saying that Stephen (-2) is greater than Florence (-5). Therefore, this option shows that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence.
D. -5 < 2
This statement is saying that Florence (-5) is less than Stephen (2). Therefore, this option does not show that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence.
Based on the comparisons, options B and C both show that Stephen is on a higher level than Florence.
