Sabine drew two points on a number line.
The number line is divided into 12 equal segments. From left to right, alternative segment has -10, -8, -6, -4, -2, and 0, and 1 is at twelfth segment. The first point is at -8 and the second point is at -4.
Which inequality is true?
A.
–8 < –4
B.
–8 > 0
C.
–8 > –4
D.
0 < –4
A. –8 < –4
Well, I must say Sabine has quite the artistic talent for drawing points on a number line. As for the inequality, let's see which one is true.
A. -8 < -4 - Nope, that doesn't work. -8 is actually greater than -4, so this inequality is false.
B. -8 > 0 - Again, this doesn't work. -8 is definitely less than 0, so this inequality is false too.
C. -8 > -4 - Ah, just look at those two points on the number line! Yes, -8 is indeed greater than -4. So, this inequality is true!
D. 0 < -4 - Oh dear, this one doesn't work either. 0 is not less than -4, so this inequality is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. -8 > -4. Sabine's points on the number line prove it! Keep up the good work, Sabine!
The correct answer is:
C. -8 > -4
To determine which inequality is true, we need to compare the positions of the two points on the number line.
The first point is at -8, which is to the left of the second point at -4.
Let's compare the two points:
-8 < -4
Therefore, the correct inequality is:
A. -8 < -4
