Maggie and her friends played an online trivia game. Their scores at the end of the game were −1, 3, 0, −2, 1, −3, and 4 points.
a. List the scores in order from greatest to least.
b. Write an inequality to show the relationship between the largest and the smallest value.
c. Write a statement that interprets the inequality you wrote as a statement about the relative position of those numbers on a number line.
a. The scores in order from greatest to least are 4, 3, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3.
b. The inequality to show the relationship between the largest and smallest value is 4 > -3.
c. The inequality 4 > -3 means that 4 is to the right of -3 on a number line.
a. To list the scores in order from greatest to least, we can organize the scores as follows:
4, 3, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3
b. To show the relationship between the largest and smallest value, we can write the following inequality:
4 > -3
c. The inequality "4 > -3" means that the score of 4 is greater than the score of -3. On a number line, this would mean that the score of 4 is positioned to the right of the score of -3.
