S is slope
S= rise/run
S1=3/12=1/4
S2=2/16=1/8
S3=5/15=1/3
S4=4/20=1/5
Deepest slope S3 aka C
Answer:
So, "Compare the following rational numbers," its asking which of them is greater, or if there equal to each other.
So for 3.25 and 3 1/2
3 1/2 is greater
3.25 < 3 1/2 (so it should look like this when the symbol on that side)
and for -4.5 and -4.05
-4.05 is greater.
-4.5 < -4.05 (so the symbol is also on that side.)
Don’t listen to get the links they are annoying
-4.3 is rational but it is not an integer
