Which number is greatest
A) - 6.33
B) - 3.33
C) - 5.4
D) - 2.8
Which number would be the farthest right on a number line ??
D) - 2.8
To determine which number is greatest, we need to compare them. In this case, all the given numbers are negative, so the number with the smallest absolute value will be the greatest.
To find the number with the smallest absolute value, we compare the numbers based on their distances from zero.
Let's compare the absolute values of the given numbers:
A) |-6.33| = 6.33
B) |-3.33| = 3.33
C) |-5.4| = 5.4
D) |-2.8| = 2.8
Based on the absolute values, we can see that D) -2.8 has the smallest absolute value, which means it is the greatest negative number among the given options.
