Question

Victoria says that -3 < -20 because 3 is smaller than 20. Maris says that -3 > -20 because 3 degrees below 3 is warmer than 20 degrees below 0. Who is right? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

Answer:

Maris is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Maris is right because when using negative numbers a less negative number is greater than a big negative number

an example for this is when you are in debt by 3 dollars you are richer than a person who is in debt by 20 dollars

a great visual explanation will be the number line basically numbers to the right are always greater than those before it.
