Henry, Janon, and Clark are playing a card game. The object of the game is to finish with the most points. The scores at the end of the game are Henry: −7, Janon: 0, and Clark: −5. Who won the game? Who came in last place? Use a number line model, and explain how you arrived at your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answers are:

• The winner of the game was Janon.
• Henry came in last place.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scores:

• Henry: -7
• Janon: 0
• Clark: -5

The number line model is given by the attached picture. As you can see Henry's score is at the leftmost and Janon's score is at the rightmost. So Janon's score is the largest and she won the game. The last place is for Henry as he is at the leftmost (the lowest score).
