1. Which is greater than 4?
(a) 5,
(b) -5,
(c) -1/2,
(d) -25.
(a) 5
To determine which option is greater than 4, we need to compare each option with the number 4 and evaluate if it is greater or lesser.
(a) Option (a) is 5. Since 5 is greater than 4, option (a) is greater than 4.
(b) Option (b) is -5. Since -5 is lesser than 4, option (b) is NOT greater than 4.
(c) Option (c) is -1/2. To compare fractions with whole numbers, we can convert them to decimals. In this case, -1/2 is equivalent to -0.5. Since -0.5 is lesser than 4, option (c) is NOT greater than 4.
(d) Option (d) is -25. Since -25 is lesser than 4, option (d) is NOT greater than 4.
Based on the comparisons, only option (a) is greater than 4.
