Compare these rational numbers. which of the following are true?

i -4.3< -3.7
ii -3.7< -2.6
iii -4.3 > -2.6
iv -1.8 > -0.9

a. i, ii, iii, iv
b. iii and iv
c. ii, iii
d. i and iii

  none of the above (only i and ii are correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

The given numbers appear on the number line left-to-right in this order:

  -4.3  -3.7  -2.6  -1.8  -0.9

The "<" relationship is true if the number on the left is to the left on the number line. That is the case for -4.3 < -3.7, and for -3.7 < -2.6.

The ">" relationship is true if the number on the left is to the right on the number line. That is NOT THE CASE for -4.3 > -2.6 or -1.8 > -0.9.

Hence, only options i and ii are true. None of the answer choices A, B, C, or D lists only these two options.
