the integer further to to the right is greater

Answer 2

Answer:

(B) 1.2 > -6.9

Explanation:

The negative numbers/decimals are always to the left of the 0 on a number line. They are not positive.

The positive numbers are always to the right of the 0 on a number line. They are always greater than negative numbers.

6.9 might be greater than 1.2 if it is a positive number, but if it is a negative number, 1.2 is greater.
