The positions of two divers from the water’s surface after a dive are shown:

Sal: −38 feet
Sam: −45 feet

Which inequality explains why Sal is closer to the surface than Sam?

Because −38 > −45, so −38 is closer to 0 than −45
Because −38 < −45, so −38 is closer to 0 than −45
Because −38 > −45, so −38 is farther from 0 than −45
Because −38 < −45, so −38 is farther from 0 than −45

Which statement is the correct interpretation of the inequality −2 > −8?

On a number line, −2 is located to the right of −8.
On a number line, −2 is located to the left of −8.
On a number line, −2 is located to the left of 0 and −8 is located to the right of 0.
On a number line, −2 is located to the right of 0 and −8 is located to the left of 0.

Which of the following is true?

|−8| < 6
|−6| < |−8|
|8| < |−6|
|−6| < −8

The positions of two divers from the water’s surface after a dive are shown:

Sal: −38 feet

Sam: −45 feet

Which inequality explains why Sal is closer to the surface than Sam?

Because −38 > −45, so −38 is closer to 0 than −45  =  CORRECT ANSWER

Because −38 < −45, so −38 is closer to 0 than −45              WRONG

Because −38 > −45, so −38 is farther from 0 than −45        WRONG

Because −38 < −45, so −38 is farther from 0 than −45        WRONG

Which statement is the correct interpretation of the inequality −2 > −8?

On a number line, −2 is located to the right of −8.    = CORRECT ANSWER

On a number line, −2 is located to the left of −8.  WRONG

On a number line, −2 is located to the left of 0 and −8 is located to the right of 0.       WRONG

On a number line, −2 is located to the right of 0 and −8 is located to the left of 0.       WRONG
