The fish sizes r on a graph
Blue fish. 70 feet
Red fish. 45 feet
Question true or false
The red fish is not as long as the blue fish. True or false
I'll be glad to comment on YOUR answer.
I think the answer is false because not as long means that the red fish is longer
Thanks for giving us your answer.
However it is wrong.
NOT as long means that the red fish is NOT AS LONG as the blue fish. The blue fish is longer. The red fish is shorter.
The statement is true.
Ms Sue did u see my answer
@Ms Sue I copied the statement wrong it is
The blue fish is not as long as the red fish
To determine if the statement "The red fish is not as long as the blue fish" is true or false, we need to compare the lengths of the red and blue fish. According to the given information, the red fish measures 45 feet and the blue fish measures 70 feet.
To solve this, we can directly compare the length of the red fish to that of the blue fish. The red fish measures 45 feet, whereas the blue fish measures 70 feet. Since 45 is indeed less than 70, it is clear that the red fish is, in fact, not as long as the blue fish.
Therefore, the statement "The red fish is not as long as the blue fish" is true.
