USE < OR > TO MAKE THE STATEMENT TRUE
6 __ -9
DO I HAVE IT RIGHT
6 < -9
Draw the number line as follows:
_-9_-8_-7_-6_-5_-4_-3_-2_-1__0__1__2__3__4__5__6__7
The numbers to the right are greater than those to their left.
So locate 6 and -9 on the number line. The one on the right is greater than the one on the left.
Can you post what you think to confirm?
SO MY ANSWER WAS WRONG SO IT SHOULD BE
6>-9 RIGHT
Right!
No, you do not have it right. The correct symbol to make the statement true is ">" (greater than), not "<" (less than).
To determine which symbol to use, you need to compare the values of 6 and -9. In this case, 6 is "greater" than -9, so the statement "6 > -9" is true.
