Question

Which inequality is true? giving 14 points and marking brainly!!

Answer 1

Answer:

-2 3/4 < -1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Positives are always greater than negatives (Example: 2 is greater than -2).

This eliminates the first and last inequalities.

Smaller negative numbers are always greater than larger negative numbers (Example: -2 is greater than -4).

This eliminates the third unequality.

For the second given inequality, convert the fractions to share the same denominator.

-2 3/4 < -1 2/4

They are both negative numbers.

We know smaller negative are always greater than larger negative numbers.

This inequality aligns with this statement.

Therefore, only the second inequlity is true.
