Given the following rational numbers, -4.3 and -7.9, describe how the numbers would be positioned relative to each other on a number line.(3 points)
-4.3 would be to the
right of 0
on the number line.
-7.9 would be to the
left of 0
on the number line.
-4.3 is
to the left
of -7.9 on the number line.
The number -4.3 would be positioned to the right of 0 on the number line because it is a negative number and it is closer to 0 than negative numbers that are more to the left.
On the other hand, -7.9 would be positioned to the left of 0 on the number line because it is also a negative number but it is further away from 0 than -4.3.
Therefore, -4.3 is to the left of -7.9 on the number line because it is closer to 0 and -7.9 is further away.
